In Python 3, pip cannot install modules

I'm getting the SSL error when trying to install a module using pip and I've looked around on the net and found the common solution for that problem:

C:\Python35> pip3 install --index-url=http://pypi.python.org/simple/ --trusted-host pypi.python.org sphinx

However, running this command did not work as I thought. What am I doing wrong?

C:\Python35> pip3 install --index-url=http://pypi.python.org/simple/ --trusted-host pypi.python.org -vvv sphinx

As Mukul Sharma wrote, using

C:\Python35>pip3 install --index-url=https://pypi.python.org/simple/ --trusted-host pypi.python.org -vvv sphinx

instead fixed my problem.

Python has stopped support on requests using HTTP. They are only allowing requests over HTTPS. You can read more about it here.

Just use https instead of http here:

C:\Python35> pip3 install --index-url=https://pypi.python.org/simple/ --trusted-host pypi.python.org sphinx
