Python: pip install won't work on any packages

Question

I'm currently using MacOS (10.13.4) and Python 2.7.14.

I can't get pip to install any packages at all. All I get is the following error

    Collecting scrapy
  Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/scrapy/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: [SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION] tlsv1 alert protocol version (_ssl.c:661) - skipping
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement scrapy (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for scrapy

Just for reference here is another packages error message:

Collecting dateutil
  Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/dateutil/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: [SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION] tlsv1 alert protocol version (_ssl.c:661) - skipping
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement dateutil (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for dateutil

Not sure if this is relevant but heres this as well:

$ which openssl
/usr/bin/openssl

$ openssl version
LibreSSL 2.2.7

And from Python:

>>> import ssl
>>> print ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION
OpenSSL 0.9.8zh 14 Jan 2016

Any help at this point would be appreciated.

You can try using `--trusted-host` for `pypi.python.org` – Laszlowaty Apr 12 '18 at 14:48 — Laszlowaty, Apr 12 '18 at 14:48
