Since Morning, I am getting this error. Can someone please help me to resolve this?

This doesn't help. Did lots of research in google before posting here. Nothing helped.

$pip install --upgrade certifi --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org
Requirement already up-to-date: certifi in /Users/xxx/Desktop/xx/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages (2020.6.20)

Seems to be Self-signed SSL certificates issues for requests. Maybe this can help.

@rakeshr Thank you so much for the link. After copying the root certificates, it worked. Spent more than 16 hours on this. You saved my time.
