Thanks for that very helpful reply. I installed the googleads library via yesterday using: pip install googleads
That installed all the dependencies at that time. If I do: pip install httplib2 --upgrade It returns: Requirement already up-to-date: httplib2 in c:\python34\lib\site-packages The last thing I wanted to do was uninstall Python and reinstall it since I have many packages that I found difficult to install initially (pandas, numpy, etc.) on Windows. The solution that worked was to go to the *__init__.py* file located at *C:\Python34\Lib\site-packages\httplib2* and change this line: check_hostname=True) to this: check_hostname=disable_ssl_certificate_validation ^ True) And everything now works. I am able to download reports. Thank you for your response Michael.
