Description

When running tox, I now get errors in the flake8 configuration. They are SSL errors. Tried several things to no avail. I will tell my students to remove flake8 from the envlist in tox.ini.
Happens with local dev environment as 3.6 and 3.7. Pip is 18.1 already.

Here is the start of the error message:

What is the OS?
Are you using Anaconda Distribution?
What mechanism was used to update pip?
Is certifi installed (and what version)?
Related with #12.

Oh, you might be right - I can check on it next week. I don't remember whether I tried that. It only happened when flake8 was in the envlist in tox.ini. I simply told the students to remove flake8 from the envlist.

I believe that Cookiecutter will be moving from flake8 to black sometime soon, in which case this will become irrelevant.

Not Anaconda. Mac OS. Pip was updated in the normal manner, but I did try doing the manual get-pip or whatever it was; the way we had to get around the pip issues when pypi.org changed over. It was the same version, though.
