title: How to make SSL work in pip3?
body: <p>Python 3.6.5 is built from source and installed along with Python 2.7.5.</p>
  
  <p><strong>python3</strong> opens the python terminal, however <strong>pip3</strong> fails to install any package with SSL error.</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>[root@servername openssl-OpenSSL_1_1_1-pre5]# pip3 install flask
  pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available.

  <p>It is observed that SSL module is not installed in python3. However, SSL works well in python2. Is it possible to configure python3 to refer to the SSL location that python2 uses?</p>
  
  <p>Also, one recommendation was to install openssl-devel. On installing that, the following dependency issue is detected.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestion to make SSL work with python3 is helpful.</p>
