Pip: No Module Found Urllib3 for every single command in PIP

[mortunco]

• Pip version:pi
• Python version:2.7
• Operating System:MacOSX Yosemite 10.10.05
  

  Description:

My Pip was working fine. Then I tried to install a software that requires python modules etc. Now my pip does not even show help menu. It keeps posting same error in command line Import Error: No module named urllib3.

I tried to install urllib3. I couldn't manage to download it manually. Because preferred method of the installation was though pip install urllib3.

What I've run: Nothing works.

Same error that I get every single try.

Thank you for your help,

Best,

I've got the same problem.
Have you any update?

[mortunco]

I dont remember exactly what I did, however, I think I removed pip with brew uninstall and re installed. It solved my problem.

Sorry :(

I have a number of users reporting this at certbot/certbot#2902.

This doesn't look like a pip issue, it looks like you've somehow gotten your Python installation into a really bad state.

[randallk]

This is a problem with the python 2 ensurepip module - it doesn't install urllib3 which pip depends on.

[dstufft]

pip doesn't depend on anything directly, if your pip does it's because your vendor has modified pip to make it do so. I would suggest raising an issue with whoever you get your Python from.

[randallk]

This is with the pip installed by the python ensurepip module, called by the configure --with-ensurepip=install.
So, it does depend on urllib3, via requests it looks like, and the ensurepip module isn't doing a proper job of installing the dependencies. Doing an easy_install urllib3 lets pip run properly. I'm guessing though that it's the cpython guys that would be responsible for ensurepip.

[dstufft]

Sorry, to be more clear pip uses urllib3 (via requests), but we don't depend on it in the typical way. We copy it into pip/_vendor so that it becomes part of our code base instead of needing to have urllib3 installed in the typical way.

Looking at your specific traceback, it could also be that the bundled urllib3 is failing it's import in some way. You can see this code here: https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/master/pip/_vendor/requests/packages/__init__.py#L26-L30

It should be finding the bundled copy of urllib3 and not falling back at all, but presumably that is raising an ImportError for some reason. Making a small modification to add a raise statement before the import urllib3 will probably give you the real, underlying cause.

reason:

• env: mac osx 10.12.6 + Python2.7.13 + requests (2.12.4)
• you guys should check openssl version.
• the mac osx default openssl version is 0.9.8zh 14 Jan 2016.
• when you use brew install openssl, the current version is stable 1.0.2l.
• but if you use brew install [email protected], this version will Cause No Module Found Urllib3 issue.

How to fix:

brew uninstall [email protected]

# openssl: stable 1.0.2l
brew install openssl

• then, you will find Urllib3 issue is fixed.

This may help https://askubuntu.com/questions/509283/python-no-module-named-datetime

[doomzhou]

my case:
I build python2.7 with openssl(enable ssl2 ssl3) for security testing!

standard build openssl without -fPIC.
i get error:

ImportError: No module named urllib3

last, build openssl with -fPIC.
./config --prefix=pwd/local enable-ssl2 enable-ssl3 no-shared -fPIC

error fix .
