pip3 v21.1.2 SSL Error on RHEL 7

[malibu]

Hi there, I am on:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo)

This is a new server, I did:

yum install python3 python3-pip python3-wheel
pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper

and I added the following to .bashrc:

export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/Devel
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3
source $HOME/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

I also installed pip under my local user.

The default pip on the system is /usr/bin/pip3 which is version 9.0.3 and is too old.

The pip that is being put into my virtualenv is 21.1.2

When I try to use the 9.0.3 pip it works but because it is old I am running into package problems. When I use 21.1.2 pip3 I get the following:

Error:
$ ./.virtualenvs/candc-server/bin/pip3 install Django

Can anyone tell me why I am getting this? Thank you in advance.
