urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED]
brunobuddy opened this issue · comments
I am getting an error because of some failed validation when I follow the README
self._sslobj.do_handshake()
ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1056)
This happends when I do python3 -m medium_to_ghost.medium_to_ghost medium-export.zipon MacOS 10.14.4 and using Python 3.7.3
Running this command seems to work:
sudo /Applications/Python\ 3.7/Install\ Certificates.command
Make sure to specify the correct version of Python installed on your machine. This command also assumes you're using MacOS.
The response from @jehunter5811 is correct. The problem is that Python on Mac doesn't install SSL certificates by default for some reason and you have to run that command manually to install them. Otherwise no python programs can access https sites.
