This is a known bug  you can work it around with a hack   Open up site-packages requests packages urllib3 connectionpool py  or otherwise just make a local copy of requests inside your own project   and change the block that says   def connect self         Add certificate verification     sock   socket create connection  self host  self port   self timeout         Wrap socket using verification with the root certs in       trusted root certs     self sock   ssl wrap socket sock  self key file  self cert file                                  cert reqs self cert reqs                                  ca certs self ca certs                                  server hostname self host                                  ssl version self ssl version    to   def connect self         Add certificate verification     sock   socket create connection  self host  self port   self timeout         Wrap socket using verification with the root certs in       trusted root certs     self sock   ssl wrap socket sock  self key file  self cert file                                  cert reqs self cert reqs                                  ca certs self ca certs                                  server hostname self host                                  ssl version ssl PROTOCOL TLSv1    Otherwise  I suppose there s an override somewhere which is less hacky  but I couldn t find one with a few glances   NOTE  On a sidenote  requests from PIP  1 0 4  on a MacOS just works with the URL you provided

I was having similar issue and I think if we simply ignore the ssl verification will work like charm as it worked for me  So connecting to server with https scheme but directing them not to verify the certificate   Using requests  Just mention verify False instead of None      requests post url  data payload  headers headers  verify False    Hoping this will work for those who needs

Unfortunately the accepted answer did not work for me  As a temporary workaround you could also use verify False when connecting to the secure website   From Python Requests throwing up SSLError  requests get  https   example com   verify True

To people that can t get above fixes working   Had to change file ssl py to fix it  Look for function create default context and change line   context   SSLContext PROTOCOL SSLv23    to  context   SSLContext PROTOCOL TLSv1    Maybe someone can create easier solution without editing ssl py

I have had this error when connecting to a RabbitMQ MQTT server via TLS  I m pretty sure the server is broken but anyway it worked with OpenSSL 1 0 1  but not OpenSSL 1 0 2   You can check your version in Python using this   import ssl ssl OPENSSL VERSION   I m not sure how to downgrade OpenSSL within Python  it seems to be statically linked on Windows at least   other than using an older version of Python

Reposting this here for others from the requests issue page   Requests  does not support doing this before version 1  Subsequent to version 1  you are expected to subclass the HTTPAdapter  like so   from requests adapters import HTTPAdapter from requests packages urllib3 poolmanager import PoolManager import ssl  class MyAdapter HTTPAdapter       def init poolmanager self  connections  maxsize  block False           self poolmanager   PoolManager num pools connections                                         maxsize maxsize                                         block block                                         ssl version ssl PROTOCOL TLSv1    When you ve done that  you can do this   import requests s   requests Session   s mount  https      MyAdapter      Any request through that session object will then use TLSv1

Setting verify False only skips verifying the server certificate  but will not help to resolve SSL protocol errors   This issue is likely due to SSLv2 being disabled on the web server  but Python 2 x tries to establish a connection with PROTOCOL SSLv23 by default  This happens at https   github com python cpython blob 360aa60b2a36f5f6e9e20325efd8d472f7559b1e Lib ssl py L1057  You can monkey-patch ssl wrap socket   in the ssl module by overriding the ssl version keyword parameter  The following code can be used as-is  Put this at the start of your program before making any requests    import ssl from functools import wraps def sslwrap func        wraps func      def bar  args    kw           kw  ssl version     ssl PROTOCOL TLSv1         return func  args    kw      return bar  ssl wrap socket   sslwrap ssl wrap socket
