OpenSSL.SSL.Error: Missing cacert.pem in vendorized `requests` 2.13.0?

See original GitHub issue

When I run pipenv install I get the a stack trace ending in

OpenSSL.SSL.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')]

This may be caused by the bundled requests module (v2.13) missing a cacert.pem file… see requests/requests#4019 (“OpenSSL issue when vendoring requests”). I can confirm that trying import requests; requests.get(...) with pipenv/vendor/requests on my path causes the error above while the same command using my system-wide requests (v2.14.2) does not.

For an immediate workaround, find the pipenv directory under your Python installation’s site-packages directory, cd into it, and then:

cd vendor/requests
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kennethreitz/pipenv/master/pipenv/vendor/requests/cacert.pem

Alright, I’ve pushed 35518da to address this.

~@msegado and @aeleos, feel free to try installing the master branch and seeing if you’re still experiencing the issue. If not, this will be included in our next release.~

Ignore the above, this won’t be testable until we push a new sdist release since this revolves around bundling there.
