I have python 2.7.8 and have the same issue.

[meono]

I am having the same issue in one of my virtualenv (only this one). It started after I used add2virtualenv to add a directory to get sip module picked up.

[apexchu]

i have the same issue too.....

Just ran into this as well. It seems like the error message is wrong... ensuring that python is compiled with ssl support definitely fixes the issue for me.

% python
Python 2.7.9 (default, Jan 27 2015, 17:42:45)
[GCC 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ssl
>>>

If the above yields errors, it may be the cause of your issues.

I encountered same problem on my CentsOS. After steps below, this issue was fixed:
1) yum install openssl_devel
2)recompile python: make && make install.
Maybe useful to you.

I had same problem on Debian - python had ssl support, but pip installed by virtualenv was extremly old - 1.1
After pip upgrade, everything worked, in case someone has same issue as I did.

[cksachdev]

I have the same issue in OSX.

[screwt]

Same issue here with ubuntu. 12.04, upgrading system packages fixed it:

$ sudo pip install -U requests
$ sudo pip install -U pip

EDIT : Issue still there in deed... investigating

EDIT : ok, a complete requests uninstall and install back via pip fixed the issue.

[shcabin]

i have the same issue on Fedora 19 ,after yum install openssl-devel fixed this issue and work well

[blakewest]

On OSX, upgrading open ssl and reinstalling python fixed this. The steps were:

brew install openssl
brew unlink python
brew install python

worked.

[chhantyal]

As @bwest87 suggested, installing/upgrading openssl worked. Thanks

I got the same error today. installing opessl-devel and recompiling python did solve the get-pip issue. Further investigation pointed that the get-pip.py is trying to extract certificate to pass at --cert argument.

    # We need to extract the SSL certificates from requests so that they
    # can be passed to --cert
    cert_path = os.path.join(tmpdir, "cacert.pem")
    with open(cert_path, "wb") as cert:
        cert.write(pkgutil.get_data("pip._vendor.requests", "cacert.pem"))

[lerencao]

I encountered the same error. But I found out that I had forgotten to add sudo ...

[ProgrammerYuan]

Has anyone comes up with a method to solve this problem on OSX especially on el captain?
It's killing me right now.

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

afair on el captaion it is a massive bug in the platform python - does it happen in a homebrew python?

[soorinpark]

I was having this issue since yesterday. When I ran pip I got the error: ImportError: No module named 'pip._vendor.requests'. Here's how I fixed mine:
When I ran brew install python, I got the error: could not delete '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/__init__.py': Permission denied. So I found out that my ../pip/ dir was owned by root, so I ran sudo chown -R {user} ./pip/ and then ran brew reinstall python which did not give any errors and now pip works fine.

[dstufft]

Closing this, I cannot reproduce it. In addition it appears that this is an issue with the ssl module or similar on some platforms and isn't a pip issue. If you're getting this try to run python -c "import ssl" and see if that fails, if it does then you need to fix your Python installation.

Can anyone help here.
I am trying to install keras in conda using pip and I get below error:

[OscartGiles]

@hlamba28 - See here. msarahan's solution fixed it for me. https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/6317

[malhotravasu]

Easy fix for windows users:

easy_install requests

[zhangdm]

just go to here :https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ ,download the pipenv

[chancelyg]

review your code，may is cause of this code

from pip._vendor import requests

[bieniekmateusz]

This could be caused by using "sudo pip" which is not supposed to be used in general. The solution that worked for me on Arch Linux is:

sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources
sudo pacman -S python-setuptools python-pip
