SSL certificate verification failed when installing gensim

[steph...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am new to gensim and trying to install it via Anaconda CLI (version 1.2.2) on windows 7. I have tried two ways of installing and neither is working:

1)

> pip install -U gensim

And, I get the following error message:

Collecting gensim
  Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/gensim/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:645) - skipping
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement gensim (from versions:
 )
No matching distribution found for gensim

2)

> easy_install -U gensim

when I get the following error message:

Searching for gensim
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/gensim/
No local packages or download links found for gensim
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('gensim')

Any help on how this could be fixed?

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam,

what Python version is this? I just tried, and gensim "pip installs" just fine. I don't have Windows though.

Also, you're using pip and easy_install, which are not related to Anaconda (unless Anaconda does something to these executables).

(this is almost certainly related either to your Python distribution or Anaconda, not gensim as such, so you'll have better luck asking at their respective mailing list)
