need to install package certifi to get pipenv to work

I’m on ubuntu 16, I installed pipenv with pip install --user pipenv (in this case, pip is the system pip)

that installed pipenv into ~/.local/bin and ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

using pipenv install sqlalchemy failed with

  File "/home/bkc/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pipenv/vendor/requests/packages/urllib3/contrib/pyopenssl.py", line 411, in load_verify_locations
    self._ctx.load_verify_locations(cafile, capath)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/OpenSSL/SSL.py", line 528, in load_verify_locations
    _raise_current_error()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/OpenSSL/_util.py", line 48, in exception_from_error_queue
    raise exception_type(errors)
Error: [('system library', 'fopen', 'No such file or directory'), ('BIO routines', 'BIO_new_file', 'no such file'), ('x509 certificate routines', 'X509_load_cert_crl_file', 'system lib')]

in another shell (w/o an activated virtualenv) I then did pip install --user certifi

now pipenv install sqlachemy works as expected

Alright, this was a wheel issue because we didn’t specify include_package_data in our setup.py. I’ve pushed 06acad1 to resolve this, so it will be fixed in the next release. In the meantime, you’ll need to install certifi to resolve this.

If anyone is having trouble with this when using Ansible… SOLUTION BELOW

I was trying to install pipenv, and was getting an error about certifi. It did mention in the error message about using a flag --user. So here’s my working task.

- hosts: # ...
  tasks:
    - name: Install pipenv
      pip:
        name:
          - certifi
          - pipenv
        extra_args: --user
