I am trying to install the following module https://github.com/Uberi/speech_recognition from PyPi (https://pypi.org/project/SpeechRecognition/) for my installed Python 2.7 using the command:

py -2.7 -m pip install SpeechRecognition==3.8.1

But the error I get is:

Could not fetch URL https://pypi.org/simple/pip/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='pypi.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /simple/pip/ (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, '_ssl.c:499: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol'),)) - skipping

How to solve this and eventually install The SpeechRecognition v3.8.1 which is compatible with Python 2.7?
