As suggested I went to the link https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning <https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning>, and followed the instructions as far as I could with the following result
cbhe:python Python 2.7.9rc1 (v2.7.9rc1:40eada278702, Nov 25 2014, 17:25:50) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import ssl >>> ^D cbhe:pip install certifi Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): certifi in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages cbhe: I think that tells me that certificates are installed correctly but I might be misunderstanding this. As suggested I then tried pip install metis --pre and got the following cbhe:pip install metis --pre Collecting metis /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/requests/packages/urllib3/util/ssl_.py:90: InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail. For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning. InsecurePlatformWarning Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement metis (from versions: ) Some externally hosted files were ignored as access to them may be unreliable (use --allow-external metis to allow). No matching distribution found for metis cbhe: Further instructions about updating and using certificates are beyond my ability to follow. So I am still in the unix-python-module swamp and yearning for a simple life where I can use Spyder for actually doing something.
