Trying to get pip and some other utils on my newly wiped MacBookPro.

Trying to run distribute_setup.py fails with 403:SSL required; on some dependencies:

DNS-hosting:~ User1$ sudo python distribute_setup.py
Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.14.tar.gz
Traceback (most recent call last):

    main(sys.argv[1:])

    raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: SSL is required

Found a workaround that supposed to work, but also fails on other dependencies: (nose/tornado; which I'm also unable to install)

  • There was a solution somewhere that said to uninstall/re-install easy_install. So now I'm unable to get that installed back on my mac too. – Jeuke Apr 14 '18 at 20:24

    pip install has changed and requires SSL since October 2017. So any reference to installing it prior to that date is invalid. The simple commands like: – Jeuke Apr 14 '18 at 20:43

I recommend you maintain a separate installation of Python, so you're not using the system installation and potentially mucking up your dependencies.

This can be easily achieved with Brew:

Brew (https://brew.sh)

Install: /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Python 3.x

brew install python --reinstall which will install/reinstall Python 3.6.x

Python 2.7.x

brew install python@2

If you're set on using the local system version, you should be able to reinstall via: sudo easy_install pip

  • I will probably build it out using virtualenv to separate it from my original mac lib. but I still needed a working installer, going to try the brew install you suggested. Thanks – Jeuke Apr 17 '18 at 14:32

Your timing is good, because pip v10.0.0 was released today.

Get the wheel:

wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/62/a1/0d452b6901b0157a0134fd27ba89bf95a857fbda64ba52e1ca2cf61d8412/pip-10.0.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl#md5=be3e30acf78a44cd750bf2db0912c701

Use the wheel to install the wheel:

python pip-10.0.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl/pip install pip-10.0.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
