"pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL" in debian 8.2

I’m connecting to a virtual server that I rented through ssh.

Its os is Debian 8.2.

I installed python 3.7 and pip.

When I want to install any package with pip I get this error:

pip install django

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

I installed libssl-dev already, and trying pip install ssl won’t help and I get the same error.

any ideas?

    you can always skip https (on your own risk) by explicitly declaring you trust the pypi.org

    pip install --trusted-host pypi.org django

    you can also put it on pip.ini file under [global]

    [global]
trusted-host = pypi.org

    When you got this type of error you just need to re-setup or re-config your python setup using given commands:

    1. sudo apt install build-essential

    2. sudo apt install build-essential zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libgdbm-dev libnss3-dev libssl-dev libreadline-dev libffi-dev wget

    3. mkdir ~/python-source-files

    4. wget -P ~/python-source-files https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.5/Python-3.7.5.tgz

    5. tar xvzf Python-3.7.5.tgz

    6. cd Python-3.7.5

    7. ./configure --with-openssl
      or
      ./configure --enable-optimizations

    8. sudo make altinstall

    I have fixed same issue using these commands.
    If you have any query you can ask.
