I am new in IT and I am a Linux Mint user.
I am facing an issue when I try to install libraries using pip.
If, in Terminal, I type:
pip3 install pytest
... then I get this below as output:
Quote:WARNING: pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available.

Can anyone please help me?

Previously I have followed this 90 min tutorial, step-by-step:
https://youtu.be/B8ImmR2GfYQ ... but no results, I am facing the same issue.
pip has to be run from the command (terminal) prompt
from prompt type
python -V
and
pip -V
they should be using same interpreter.
Please reposrt results.
for scraping, I suggest you start here, you can do both tutorials (written by Snippsat) quickly:
Web-Scraping part-1
Web-Scraping part-2

Hi @
Larz60+ ! Thank you so much for your reply!
This is what I get when I check versions:
➜ python -V
Python 3.11.0
~ …
➜ pip -V
pip 22.3 from /home/rofarah/.pyenv/versions/3.11.0/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pip (python 3.11)
Other important information:
ls /usr/local/lib/ | grep python
libpython3.10.a
libpython3.7m.a
python3.10
python3.7
whereis pyhton3
python3:
/usr/bin/python3
/usr/lib/python3
/etc/python3
/usr/share/python3
/home/rofarah/.pyenv/shims/python3
/usr/share/man/man1/python3.1.gz
The link below is a good approach that I found. Please, check out the only reply to this thread:

I followed those steps, but no success.
Kind regards,
Rodrigo.
you are trying to run python from shims directory in .pyenv .
This is not the way to use shims.
Virtual environment must be started,
so where for project is located, run from command line (Linux)
. ./venv/bin/activate
python (and the proper version for the virtual environment) will now be available from this environment.
try to see if you can get thsi far.
once you have your virtual environment up and running,
try from command line:
python
>>>
>>> print('hello')
hello
>>> quit()

Hi Larz,
Here it goes:
TI/Code/Django_Course_OM …
➜ . venv/bin/activate
TI/Code/Django_Course_OM via Django_Course_OM …
➜ python
Python 3.11.0 (main, Nov 23 2022, 16:44:35) [GCC 9.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print('Hello')
Hello
>>> quit()
But after that, if I type: pip install pytest , the same error message appears.

As I am new in programming, honestly I don't know how did I come to use python this wrong way. Do you have any suggestion how to fix this mistake?
By the way, I am trying this solution below:
Quote:I simply modified part of the file Modules/Setup.dist
from
# Socket module helper for SSL support; you must comment out the other
# socket line above, and possibly edit the SSL variable:
#SSL=/usr/local/ssl
# _ssl _ssl.c \
# -DUSE_SSL -I$(SSL)/include -I$(SSL)/include/openssl \
# -L$(SSL)/lib -lssl -lcrypto
to
# Socket module helper for SSL support; you must comment out the other
# socket line above, and possibly edit the SSL variable:
SSL=/etc/ssl
_ssl _ssl.c \
-DUSE_SSL -I$(SSL)/include -I$(SSL)/include/openssl \
-L$(SSL)/lib -lssl -lcrypto
Notice that /etc/ssl is the actual location where I have ssl installed.
After the file modification I than installed with
sudo ./configure --enable-optimizations
sudo make altinstall
And now (after eventually upgrading pip and setuptools) pip works fine.
The problem is there is no setup.dist file inside Python 3.11.0 Modules. So there is this guy who wrote:
Quote:For Python 3.11.1 on Ubuntu 22.04.1, you do not need to modify any distribution files, just add --with-openssl-rpath=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu to the ./configure command line.
The ssl & crypto libs are in that directory, and this ensures they're located at runtime
Note this assumes you're running on an x86_64 distro, I expect there's a similar directory on ARM.
I am trying to do this (last quote), but terminal does't know "./configure" command. I think maybe I should execute ./configure in a different directory (maybe /usr/lib ?).
What do you think?
Thank you so much for your attention,
Rodrigo.
the product is located in .pyenv/shims/python3.11, but not to be run from here. should never be run from here
please see:
pyenv Simple Python Version Management
You aparently already have pyenv installed, so don't attempt to reinstall, but still need vitrual environment.
Do not go any further until you read and understand Snippsat's tutorial (above)
Hi, @
Larz60+ ! How are you doing?

Yes, everything seems to be ok between Python and pyenv:
➜ pyenv version
3.11.0 (set by /home/rofarah/.pyenv/version)
~ …
➜ python -V
Python 3.11.0

I am embarrassed, but as I am new in IT, and I have to admit that I don't understand what "web scraping" (Snippsat's tutorial) has to do with this "SSL - pip - Python" issue I am facing. Could you please give me a light on this?
Furthermore, even though I activate venv on VS Code terminal (already programming with my project folder opened), pip is not working, pip is not installing libraries because of this SSL error message.
Maybe you aren't allowed to dowload packages from pypi.
