You may want to follow Nathaniel's suggestion and install a version of Python that has SSL support.  Are you able to make a local Python installation into your home directory?

Hi James:

Have you tried?

pip install scikit-image --user

Or with the cloned directory:
pip install . --user


Cheers

I don't have root access on this
machine and I personally didn't install the python
version.  I can't tell if the sysadmins installed
openssl-devel before building python.

How sure are you that this is causing my problem?  I
could build python and openssl-devel myself.  But
without root access, that could be a lot of work because
I'll have to track down each dependency manually.

Thank you for replying.
