Issues with install on windows - SSL

[flycast]

• Pip version: Unknown - installed with python
• Python version: 3.6.3
• Operating system: Windows 10

Installed python 3.6.3. When I try to install packages I get the ssl error:

[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:777) - skipping

I have found a workaround here:
StackExchange

And another more permanent work around here:
Python forum

They both seem like they are bypassing python's attempt to make SSL requests truly secure.

I am ultimately trying to use python to connect to AWS IoT using their SDK. No matter what I try I get the SSL error. I also get shut down immediately when I try to telnet in to the aws endpoint using Putty. Seems like a Windows issue that is underlying python and pip.

Not an issue with pip. This is a warehouse problem (specifically CDN issues).

@xoviat I don't think so.

@flycast Using trusted-host is not exactly a good idea. That said, this issue looks very similar to #4459.

If I'm right then the issue should be resolved by now. But at the time I posted the answer, there were some CDN issues with certificates.

@flycast Could you run pip --version?

[flycast]

Yes: pip 9.0.1 from c:\users\eric\appdata\local\programs\python\python36\lib\site-packages (python 3.6)

I'll defer to someone else here; I'm pretty sure there's someone who'll know more than me about the situation here.

Can you provide the exact command you're using that gets the error, plus a full traceback? Also, do you have a pip.ini file or any PIP_* environment variables set?

I'm not sure how the aws endpoint is relevant here? Are you trying to install packages from PyPI, or from this AWS endpoint that you mention?

Closing due to a lack of a response.
