python InsecurePlatformWarning when downloading pip on Windows (python 2.7.5)

To download pip on Windows, I followed https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/ (downloading the get-pip.py file, and then running it on Command Prompt).

However, I got this:

Collecting pip c:\users\licar\appdata\local\temp\tmpwp5zx3\pip.zip\pip_vendor\urllib3\util\ssl_.py:339: SNIMissingWarning: An HTTPS request has been made, but the SNI (Subject Name Indication) extension to TLS is not available on this platform. This may cause the server to present an incorrect TLS certificate, which can cause validation failures. You can upgrade to a newer version of Python to solve this.

Any suggestions on what I can do? Do I need to use a newer version of python? Thank you :)

You can upgrade to a newer version of Python to solve this.

So to answer your question: Yes, get a new version of python. According to the docs, you need python 2.7.9 or higher.

edit: I didn't see your version (2.7.5). So yes, it is a version issue. Updating python would solve it.

There is something blocking your installation. Try to add proxy and try it:

set HTTP_PROXY=http://<<username>>:<<password>>@<<proxy server>>:<<proxy_port>>
set HTTPS_PROXY=https://<<username>>:<<password>>@<<proxy server>>:<<proxy_port>>
