[SOLVED] CertificateError when trying to install packages on a virtualenv

Issue

Hey I'm trying to install some packages from a requires file on a new virtual environment (2.7.4), but I keep running into the following error:

    CertificateError: hostname 'pypi.python.org' doesn't match either of '*.addvocate.com', 'addvocate.com'

I cannot seem to find anything helpful on the error when I search. What is going wrong here? Who in the world is addvocate.com and what are they doing here?

Solution

The issue is being documented on the python status site at http://status.python.org/incidents/jj8d7xn41hr5
