python - InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately

Question

This question already has answers here:

Answer 1

The docs give a fair indicator of what's required., however requests allow us to skip a few steps:

You only need to install the security package extras (thanks @admdrew for pointing it out)

$ pip install requests[security]

or, install them directly:

$ pip install pyopenssl ndg-httpsclient pyasn1

Requests will then automatically inject pyopenssl into urllib3

If you're on ubuntu, you may run into trouble installing pyopenssl, you'll need these dependencies:

$ apt-get install libffi-dev libssl-dev
