title: Python - Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available
body: <p>I am having issues using venv in conjunction with the requests module. I am able to initiate a virtual environment just fine (python -m venv venv from powershell) as well as activate it (venv/Scripts/Activate/). I am also able to install the library 'requests' just fine via pip 'pip install requests'.</p>
  <p>However when I go to run a requests get function such as :</p>
  <pre><code>requests.get(
    url = url,
    params = {}
  )
  </code></pre>
  <p>in a py file I get the following error:</p>
  <p><strong>urllib3.exceptions.SSLError: Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.</strong></p>
  <p>Any ideas on how to fix this? Using windows 10, Python 3.8.5, pip 20.1.1, requests 2.25.1, pyOpenSSL 20.0.1</p>
