This happened to me (although with Anaconda, not pip).

I tracked it down to updating pyopenssl from 16.0 to 16.2.

My solution was to first reinstall Anaconda (which reverted pyopenssl to 16.0). (You may not need to do this.)

After that, I just ran

sudo apt install python3-openssl

After doing this, my problem seemed to be corrected.

I think you should update your pip first, then try again. I see pip==1.5.6, omg, it's older than the moon
