Use the –trusted-host argument.
I figured out how to get it to work with me behind my corporate firewall using the –trusted-host argument.
My first attempt was this:
pip install matplotlib
and the failed text was this:
Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/matplotlib/: There
was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: [SSL:
CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:645) –
skipping
So then I tried this which worked:
pip3.5 install matplotlib --trusted-host pypi.python.org
