Description

I'm trying to install pyperclip through pip using cmd and I am getting the following error:

WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=0, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:997)'))': /simple/pyperclip/

Expected behavior

Not sure whats happening, I tried upgrading pip and that did not work (plus I am already on the most updated version), I also tried the trusted host solution, that did not work. Additionally I tried install pyperclip manually, then compying the exe file to \AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts folder, then installing pyperclip in the idle shell via import pyperclip but i then get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in
import pyperclip
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyperclip'

so not sure what else to do.

pip version

21.2.4

Python version

3.10.2

OS

Win 10

How to Reproduce

run the following command in cmd:

C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts>pip.exe install pyperclip

Output

Someone please help me install this application.

I can't reproduce this. Maybe you have some configurations in your computer that makes the SSL verification to fail. Are you running a computer from your enterprise? Maybe you'll have to ask them to enable installing stuff from pypi.org. I don't know about this kind of issues, but I know this is out of pip control.
