Same issue here with ubuntu. 12.04, upgrading system packages fixed it:

$ sudo pip install -U requests $ sudo pip install -U pip

EDIT : Issue still there in deed… investigating

EDIT : ok, a complete requests uninstall and install back via pip fixed the issue.

I encountered same problem on my CentsOS. After steps below, this issue was fixed:

yum install openssl_devel 2)recompile python: make && make install. Maybe useful to you.

This could be caused by using “sudo pip” which is not supposed to be used in general. The solution that worked for me on Arch Linux is:

sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources sudo pacman -S python-setuptools python-pip
