SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED with Python2.7/3
To enhance flexibility and address specific use cases, modifications will be made to the ssl module instead of consistently relying on ssl.create_default_context . The updated approach involves checking the PYTHONHTTPSVERIFY environment variable upon the module’s initial import in a Python process. The ssl._create_default_https_context function will then be configured as follows: If the environment variable is present and set to ‘0’, ssl._create_default_https_context will be an alias for ssl._create_unverified_context. Otherwise, ssl._create_default_https_context will be an alias for ssl.create_default_context , adhering to the usual behavior. Here is an example implementation: import os import sys import ssl _https_verify_envvar = 'PYTHONHTTPSVERIFY' def _get_https_context_factory () : if not sys.flags.ignore_environment: config_setting = os.environ.get(_https_verify_envvar) if config_setting == ...
