Firstly I wanted to edit the pip.ini file because I kept getting the Could not fetch URL https://pypi.org/simple/yfinance/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='pypi.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /simple/yfinance/ (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:997)'))) - skipping when using pip install [package name]

Than I found this: pip install fails with "connection error: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:598)" where it suddgested that I open the pip.ini file and add this:

[global]
trusted-host = pypi.python.org
               pypi.org
               files.pythonhosted.org

And now I am having trouble editing the pip.ini file, after watching many tutorials and video explanation videos on how to solve the problem I keep getting the "YOU DO NOT HAVE THE PERMISSION TO EDIT THIS FILE". I have changed users permissions under properties->security tab and nothing is helping, I still cannot edit the file enter image description here

enter image description here

The error translates to: You do not have the permission to open this file, to open it get the permission from an admin or from the owner.

So to sum up I am trying to fix the SLLCertVerificationError but I can't fix it because I can't open the pip.ini file. Any ideas?

Note: My I have downloaded python 3.10 from microsoft store and that is why the file location might be a bit odd.

SOLVED IT

Firstly run the : pip config -v debug to see if pip.ini file exists. Than create a pip.ini file in the given directory and add:

[global]
trusted-host = pypi.python.org
               pypi.org
               files.pythonhosted.org
