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

There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: HTTPSConnection

(Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available."))

This is the error I get when I try to pip install anything. pip install used to work for me, but I recently tried it again and it hasn't been working. I've seen this same question asked before, and they usually say,

add the following in environment paths:

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

However, I don't use Anaconda. I simply have Python 3.8 installed, and I normally use my PyCharm installation to install packages. I have also tried installing OpenSSL from https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html, since that was mentioned as a solution.

None of this is working, and I am getting the same errors. If someone could help, that would be much appreciated.

  • You should post the errors – jordanm May 28 '20 at 14:48
  • Is something wrong with PyCharm? Every time you create a new project you have the option of setting up a virtual environment and then you should be free to install whatever through the PyCharm terminal – notacorn May 28 '20 at 14:49
  • @jordanm I edited the question to add the errors. – Sanjay Janardhan May 28 '20 at 14:50
  • @notacorn I don't think I've ever created a virtual environment with PyCharm. Normally when I use PyCharm to install a package, it's just because the import is underlined in red, so I click it, and it shows me a button where I can install that package. If I want to choose a specific package to install, I usually just go to their package search menu and find it there. – Sanjay Janardhan May 28 '20 at 14:54
