Either the ssl certificate provided by the server is invalid or Python lacks the necessary CA (= "Certificate Authority") root certificates for its verification. I would use a browser to access the url and see what it says about the used certificate. Python typically uses the same certificates also used by browsers. I do not know Windows and cannot tell you where those certificates are located and how to add additional root certificates. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
