pip3 Could not fetch URL https://pypi.org/simple/pip/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate – CentOS

I installed python3.7 from here https://tecadmin.net/install-python-3-6-on-centos/
When trying to use/upgrade/install pip I got the following error:

[cloudera@quickstart Python-3.7.6rc1]$ sudo pip3 install --upgrade
WARNING: pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL,
however the ssl module in Python is not available.
ERROR: You must give at least one requirement to install (see "pip
help install")

Version information

[cloudera@quickstart Python-3.7.6rc1]$ pip3 --version
pip 19.2.3 from /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip (python 3.7)
[cloudera@quickstart Python-3.7.6rc1]$ whereis pip3

/usr/local/bin/openssl /usr/include/openssl
/usr/share/man/man1/openssl.1ssl.gz

I tried several commands suggested here for this error but nothing helped. Can you help me?

    You are probably missing some basic requirements for python. Try installing all of them with
    sudo apt-get install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev

    I fixed this by starting pip while in the directory where the executable resides. Permanent fix was to add the required bin & scripts directories to Path.

    Don’t forget to restart docker and ensure you have connectivity to the internet.

    Solution:

    After going through everywhere, I ended up uninstalling python and vs code.
    Deleted all the vs code, python, and pip cache files saved under %AppData%.
    Reinstalled python and vs code.

    Success.

    pip is 19.0.3 and I am keeping it this way because I think the problem started when I updated it to 20.3.3.
    Once you update to 20.3.3, you’re not going to be able to downgrade it because of the SSL error.

    Please try the install command by adding the trusted hosts to pip as follows as answered here

    sudo pip3 install --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org -upgrade pip

    I like this write up on the explanation of the problem and other solutions.
