Why is pip Failing with a TLS/SSL Error and How Can I Fix It on Windows 10?

Issue: Encountering TLS/SSL Error with Pip

When attempting to install modules using pip3 in Python 3.6, users may encounter the following issue:

pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available

Cause:

This error typically occurs when Python's SSL module is not installed or enabled. The SSL module is responsible for secure TLS/SSL connections.

Resolution for Windows 10:

To resolve this issue in Windows 10 when using pip in a regular command prompt (not just in the Anaconda prompt), ensure that three specific environment paths are added to the system path:

1. D:Anaconda3
2. D:Anaconda3Scripts
3. D:Anaconda3Librarybin

Many users often inadvertently add only D:Anaconda3Scripts, which can lead to the error persisting. By adding these three paths, the necessary environment variables will be established for pip to function correctly.
