First, I cannot pip install pretty much anything without adding in --trusted-host pypi.python.org. If I do not include it, i get an error reading
Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/beautifulsoup/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:748) - skipping`
BeautifulSoup was just one example, it happens all across the board.
Additionally, if I run this reddit bot code:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from urllib.parse import urlparse
import requests
import praw
import time
import re
import bs4
import ssl
USERAGENT = 'web:PeskyTrollBot:v0.1 (by /u/ThePeskyWabbit)'
auth = True
def authenticate():
print("Authenticating...")
reddit = praw.Reddit('bot1', user_agent=USERAGENT)
print("Authenticated as {}\n" .format(reddit.user.me()))
return reddit
authenticate()
#while auth:
# try:
# authenticate()
# auth = False
# except:
# print('authentication failed. Retrying in 1 minute.\n')
# time.sleep(60)
I get the error output:

I have updated pyopenssl. I have reinstalled python. I have rebooted. I have tried authenticating in a try/except block. I have updated certificates. They all seem related to a root cause such as a missing certificate but I can't find documentation on how to get the correct certs other than by updating pyopenssl. I don't think this programming related issue because of the problems I have with cmd when pip installing things. Please help!!
This problem was fixed by installing python directly to the C:\ directory, rather than within my user profile.
