Not able to install Python packages [SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION]

by

Upgrade pip as follows:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python

Note: You may need to use sudo python above if not in a virtual environment.

(Note that upgrading pip using pip i.e pip install --upgrade pip will also not upgrade it correctly. It’s just a chicken-and-egg issue. pip won’t work unless using TLS >= 1.2.)

As mentioned in this detailed answer, this is due to the recent TLS deprecation for pip. Python.org sites have stopped support for TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1.

From the Python status page:

Completed – The rolling brownouts are finished, and TLSv1.0 and
TLSv1.1 have been disabled. Apr 11, 15:37 UTC

For PyCharm (virtualenv) users:

  1. Run virtual environment with shell. (replace “./venv/bin/activate” to your own path)

    source ./venv/bin/activate

  2. Run upgrade

    curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python

  3. Restart your PyCharm instance, and check your Python interpreter in Preference.
