SSL issues are usually the result of enterprise firewalls, proxy misconfiguration or other environment issues (ie. it's not pip's fault). Given the lack of any follow up in ~2 years, this issue can safely be closed.

If anyone lands on this issue from a web search: you will probably be better served by reaching out to peers or help forums, such as Python Discuss help category, /r/learnpython on reddit, Python Discord's #python-help channel, #python on Libera.chat (IRC), python-list or python-tutor mailing lists, or StackOverflow.
