Ok, I needed opencv 4 installed on my mac, so I followed https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2018/08/17/install-opencv-4-on-macos/ and got opencv installed and the virtual environment cv set up.

I'm running Python 3.7.3. Since setting this up, I am unable to install any packages due to SSL problems. Trying pip install spell after workon cv - 

Could not fetch URL https://pypi.org/simple/spell/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='pypi.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /simple/spell/ (Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.")) - skipping
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement spell (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for spell

I've tried brew uninstalling openssl and reinstalling, as well as other SO solutions like "ssl module in Python is not available" however im on macos not linux.

How can I install pip packages?

You may have both Python2.7 and Python3 on your system. Try

pip --version

If the result is like:

pip 19.3.1 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)

your pip defaults to Python2

So just try with

pip3 install spell
