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

Could you provide a minimal repo? Not sure if this has been fixed or maybe there is some extra configurations or perhaps you're using a self-hosted runner?

I tried the following and it everything seems to be working.

    runs-on: ubuntu-16.04
    steps:
    - name: Setup-Python Test
      uses: actions/setup-python@v2
      with:
        python-version: 3.6.10 (also tried with 3.6 as that defaults to 3.6.10)

We are using a self-hosted runner.
I have kind of fixed this by compiling openssl1.1 and specifying the path in an environment variable. Now the problem is that I must do it manually for every Python version because the Github Actions runner does not work with openssl1.1.

[konradpabjan]

Yup, it's failing towards the end of the the setup script, ssl related: https://github.com/actions/python-versions/blob/10f5e8e4f5b3118624f86839a5c64c6e095094f7/installers/nix-setup-template.sh#L54

If you try to do ./python -m pip install --ignore-installed pip locally, it spits out the same message. After the extensive testing with other machines, I got this to show up once. I used a combination of solutions outlined here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45954528/pip-is-configured-with-locations-that-require-tls-ssl-however-the-ssl-module-in/57240184 (did you use something similar?) Seems like this is highly dependent on the self-hosted machine and what is installed already.

I don't know of a good solution at this time... we could update the README with some instructions, but ideally I would like it to just work. Another option is to maybe update the setup-templates which I think should do the trick. During compile time, we have all the SSL modules installed beforehand, so I there isn't anything else we can do: https://github.com/actions/python-versions/blob/10f5e8e4f5b3118624f86839a5c64c6e095094f7/builders/ubuntu-python-builder.psm1#L68

We are also experiencing problems with this on a self-hosted runner. Has this been solved yet?

Has anyone found a resolution for this issue? I just upgraded from Python 2.7.5 to Python 3.8.1 and upgraded Pip and having this same issue.

[EvanPHamilton]

https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001435926-Installing-OpenSSL-locally-under-your-username seems like it might help

[utapyngo]

@EvanPHamilton, that's what I did, and it helped. The problem is that the environment variables must be set individually for every Python version because the Github Actions runner does not work with openssl1.1.

@utapyngo , i'm trying to install tesseract-ocr on Windows 10
I need to install the "tesserocr-2.4 .0-cp37-cp37m-win-amd64.whl" wheel and then get the error

I set my environment variable for path for tesseract-ocr. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate any assistance, Regard bjorn

@debtha , did you come right here?

[mathangpeddi]

I am trying to install flask in Windows and it shows a similar error. Any idea how to resolve this error? Thanks in advance!

[chasays]

resolved.

1. first install openssl, please refer to this page
2. install python and ./configure --with-openssl=/home/username/openssl
3. at last, run python3 -m ssl and nothing outputs, it's ok.

download python source from https://www.python.org/downloads/source/ such as Python-x.x.x.tgz, then tar -xvf Python-x.x.x.tgz, and cd Python-x.x.x, do /configure --with-openssl=/home/username/openssl.

I was able to get a version of python built to use a openssl in a home directory, however the setup-python doesn't seem to ever want to use that version. Even setting up the python and python3 symlink in /usr/bin still result it in trying to install its own version and failing. Any advice on how to force setup-python to use a specific python binary?
