  <p>When I attempt to run:</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install -t lib -r requirements.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the following error: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/google-api-python-client/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: [SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION] tlsv1 alert protocol version (_ssl.c:661) - skipping
    Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement google-api-python-client (from -r requirements.txt (line 1)) (from versions: )
  No matching distribution found for google-api-python-client (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))
  You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 9.0.3 is available.
  You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

  <p>I am on a mac.</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts on how to rectify this? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks! </p>
  
  <p>Edit: 
  FYI: The entire contents of requirements.txt is simply:</p>
  
  <pre><code>google-api-python-client
  </code></pre>
