Error when installing any package in python – Debian

since I wanted to install pyserial, I always get these Errormessages when installing any package with pip-installer. I checked every similar case on Stackoverflow and other Hubs, but nothing of their solutions worked for me. Anyway, i want to install python2.7 Addons on a Debian Linux (Embedded System) by using a proxy.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Best regards

    It looks like reinstalling pip should fix your issue. Since you’re on an Linux machine, just run these commands:

    apt-get remove python-pip
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py

    See https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/1486
    https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/4779 and https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/659285

    If reinstalling pip doesn’t fix your issue, look if you can update your Debian distro. They are using a modified pip which is causing the issue.
