I get 'ssl module is not available' when using pip. how to fix?

This error usually means that the Python installation lacks SSL support.

Example:


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

Solution:


1. Ensure you have the necessary development libraries (e.g., 'libssl-dev' on Ubuntu).
2. Reinstall Python or use a version that's built with SSL support.
