Requests.exceptions.SSLError

Question

I have fiddle.py containing 4 lines

 import requests url = "https://randomuser.me/api/" locations = requests.get(url,verify=False).json() print locations 

When I run it, I kept getting

request.exceptions.SSLError: [SSL: SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE] sslv3 reject handshake of a message (_ssl.c: 590)

---

Try # 1

Set verify=False

Run the code, Same Error.

---

Try # 2

Run sudo pip install --upgrade requests

Run the code, Same Error.

---

Try # 3

Run

sudo pip install --upgrade pip

and

sudo pip install requests[security]

Run the code, Diff Error.

request.exceptions.SSLError: ("bad handshake: error" ([("SSL routines", "SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO", "sslv3 notification failure failure")],) ",)

I open any offers at this moment.

Any tips / suggestions / help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

You want to be on OpenSSL 1.0.2 and python 2.7.12. You will probably also need the last curl.

 brew update brew upgrade openssl brew upgrade curl brew upgrade python python --version # make sure you have python 2.7.12 curl https://randomuser.me/api/ # to verify
