pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available

Question

I am using Python3.6, when I try to install "modules" using pip3, I am facing the below mentioned issue "pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available"

Do you installed pip from package manager? If you installed compiling, first install `libssl-dev` or install ssl from pip `pip install ssl` https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41098252/pip-install-require-tsl-ssl — ZiTAL, Aug 30 '17 at 11:41

For Windows 10 if you want use pip in normal cmd, not only in Anaconda prompt. you need add 3 environment paths. like the followings:

D:\Anaconda3 
D:\Anaconda3\Scripts
D:\Anaconda3\Library\bin

most people only add D:\Anaconda3\Scripts

Thanks, I've added D:\Anaconda3\Library\bin and it works, by the way the libssl-1_1-x64.dll is in that folder. (win10x64, python 3.7) – apet Oct 07 '19 at 08:04

This does NOT work if one is not using Anaconda. I have experienced this issue with OSGeo4W64 and QGIS 3.10.2 installations. Adding what I gather are the correct paths to the PATH variable does not fix the issue (ex: `C:\Program Files\QGIS 3.10\apps\Python37\Scripts`). – CNIDog Feb 18 '20 at 22:35

MAC OS

I had the same problem on Mac OS(Mojave) and solved the problem as mentioned on this link - Openssl issue.

If you do not have Homebrew or don't know what is Homebrew:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Or if you already have Homebrew installed:

brew update && brew upgrade
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl; brew install https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/releases/download/v1.0.0/openssl.rb

Update: Keep in mind, that I had to use --ignore-dependencies flag, because other packages installed that depend on OpenSSL.

Additional if the problem is caused after using pyenv, you can fix it by using:

brew reinstall python

In case of your python being an pyenv installed one, where pyenv is installed with homebrew on macOS, there might me a newer version available which fixes this:

$ brew update && brew upgrade pyenv

Then reinstalling the python version:

$ pyenv install 3.7.2
pyenv: /Users/luckydonald/.pyenv/versions/3.7.2 already exists
continue with installation? (y/N)

Note, it is a bit dirty to overwrite the existing python install like that, but in my case it did work out. Probably cleaner to delete it and then recreate it properly.

I ran into this issue with Visual Studio Code installing pylint from the VS Code prompt. I was able to overcome the issue by opening the Anaconda installation directory and running

pip install pylint

Then VS Code was happy, but that did not fix the issue as running

& C:/Users/happy/Anaconda3/python.exe -m pip install -U pylint

pretty much gave the same error so it seems that VS Code is unable to access the python modules.

Note that VS Code picks up the first python env it see when installed, the bottom left of the screen indicates which env is being used. Clicking on that area allows to set the environment. So even if you ran the pip install for an environment VS Code could be looking at a different one.

Best approach was to make sure that VS code had the correct python environment selected and that same environment is in the system PATH (under System Properties --> Advanced --> Environmental Variables)

Under the Path Variable, Edit and browse to the specific Anaconda directory that you want VSCode to use and add to PATH, I needed to Add the following:

C:\Users\happy\Anaconda3\
C:\Users\happy\Anaconda3\Scripts\
C:\Users\happy\Anaconda3\Library\bin\
C:\Users\happy\Anaconda3\Library\mingw-w64\bin\

Your Anaconda installation directory may differ. One note is that Windows does not have the PATH variable take effect until you restart the terminal. In this case close and re-op VS code. If using a Terminal or PS Shell then close and reopen and check Path to make sure it is included.

Encountered this issue while installing python 3.8 from source on ubuntu. The steps needed to install it successfully alongside the default python 3.7 are summarised below :

sudo apt -y install libssl-dev zlib1g-dev build-essential

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.0/Python-3.8.0.tgz
tar -xf Python-3.8.0.tgz
cd Python-3.8.0/

./configure --enable-optimizations
make
sudo make altinstall

The install instruction for zlib1g-dev and build-essential is redundant, as ubuntu desktop already has these, but was necessary for some of Amazon's EC2 instances. python 3.8.0 is the current release just now, but should be replaced with the latest available.

These instructions are best for keeping python 3.7 as the default for python3, and running python 3.8 in a virtual environment.

Newest Python 3.8.4 or higher should able to support https protocol out of box. If you still have old python installation on your pc - either download & install python3 manually, or using Chocolatey:

If you don't have Chocolatey, install it - from here: https://chocolatey.org/docs/installation

You can just copy paste one command line liner and execute it from command prompt with elevated priviledges.

choco install python3

if you don't have python3 installed, or you you have it installed - then:

choco upgrade python3

Notice also that you can use also anaconda distribution, as it has built-in python with https support, but this rather ancient instructions, no need to follow them anymore.

Install anaconda, using command line:

choco install anaconda3

Set environment variables:

set PATH=C:\tools\Anaconda3\Scripts;C:\tools\Anaconda3;C:\tools\Anaconda3\Library\bin;%PATH%

and then run command which failed. In my case it was:

pip install conan

Anaconda uses separate python installation, and pip is also anaconda specific.

The issue is due to OpenSSL package is missing on your PC.

If pip install openpyxl also gives error.

you can fix this by installing OpenSSL(Win64 OpenSSL v1.1.1g) from below site :

I ran into this problem! I accidentally installed the 32-bit version of Miniconda3. Make sure you choose the 64 bit version!

This worked for me:

yum install python36-pyOpenSSL

python version and package manager might differ.

I tried:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

And After that, it works fine for me in Windows 10.

You’d try from Anaconda Prompt.

You will see (base), now upgrade pip. Example:

(base) C:\Users\Tom>cd ..

(base) C:\Users>cd ..

(base) C:\>python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in g:\anaconda3\lib\site-packages (20.0.2)

(base) C:\>pip -V
pip 20.0.2 from G:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.7)

# Try install
(base) C:\>pip install selenium

This takes a longer time, but will also install or upgrade SSL libraries that Anaconda uses internally. Keep Going here

This answer assumes using conda on Windows, not vanilla python on Linux as the OP indicated — hrbdg, Apr 29 '20 at 15:07

You could try brew link and it will show you the proper instruction:

$ brew link openssl --force
Warning: Refusing to link macOS provided/shadowed software: openssl@1.1
If you need to have openssl@1.1 first in your PATH run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

For compilers to find openssl@1.1 you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/include"

For pkg-config to find openssl@1.1 you may need to set:
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib/pkgconfig"

I had the same issue and it was because I changed the folder of the environment. I just removed the env and reinstalled everything.

In my case I was running into issues with my $PATH on Linux. This can also happen on MacOS.

Check to see if /usr/bin/pip3 install package_name_goes_here works for you. If so then run which pip3 this will tell you which is the first directory that pip3 is installed in.

If it is something like /usr/local/bin/pip3 which is different from /usr/bin/pip3 then you may need to adjust your $PATH.

Run echo $PATH and copy the result.

The PATH is simply a colon separated list of directories that contain directories. Bash will always return the first instance of the program that you are attempting to execute. Move all the system directories upfront. Here is a list of some of the system directories:

/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin

If that fails then verify you have openssl installed by running openssl version -a if not then install openssl.

This is the problem with your default ssl setting. You gotta download the Python3 and add the path to your system. If you use Pycharm, set the interpreter to your python3 path. Then you can normally use the pip3 without error.

pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available
