Step by step guide to install Python 3.6 and pip3 in Ubuntu
-
Install the necessary packages for Python and ssl:

Download and unzip Python-3.6.8.tar.xz from https://www.python.org/ftp/python/ into your home directory.

Open terminal in that directory and run:
$ ./configure -
Build and install:
$ make && sudo make install -
Install packages with:
$ pip3 install package_name
Disclaimer: The above commands are not tested in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
If you are on Windows and use anaconda this worked for me:
I tried a lot of other solutions which did not work (Environment PATH Variable changes …)
The problem can be caused by DLLs in the WindowsSystem32 folder (e.g. libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll or libssl-1_1-x64.dll or others) placed there by other software.
The fix was installing openSSL from https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html which replaces the dlls by more recent versions.
