[Python] " There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate..." while installing opencv...

Hi this is a continuation of my first question.I am a beginner in python trying to create a face recognition project with the face recognition and opencv library on Mac M1. I created a new Conda envrionment with the correct configuration for arm64 using:

CONDA_SUBDIR=osx-arm64 conda create -n openCVTest python=3.9 -c conda-forge --override-channel


I activated the environment and did:

conda install -c conda-forge opencv
conda install -c conda-forge face_recognition


I can see face_recognition in pip list, but my code still has an error when I import it. For opencv I didn't see the library installed when I did pip list so I tried to do:

pip install opencv


but it gave me this error:

WARNING: pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available.

I don't know if something is wrong with my pip or is it the environment that I set up is not functioning properly, I would really appreciate any help on how to resolve this issue.Thanks in advance.
