get-pip.py got no attribute 'PROTOCOL_SSLv3' error

[czchen]

The AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PROTOCOL_SSLv3' is showed when running get-pip.py. The problem is that the requests package in get-pip.py is old one which expects ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3 exists. However, this is not the case because SSLv3 is insecure now and distro likes Debian remove it from OpenSSL using OPENSSL_NO_SSLv3. This behavior is compliance with official Python document, and requests upstream had fix not to assume ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3 exists.

Please help to update the content of get-pip.py so that the error will not happen, thanks.

PR #142 should fix this I believe.

This is no longer an issue in https://github.com/poise/poise-python as get-pip.py is not bundled.
