Thanks Massimo, just in case anybody has the same problem, this is the full syntax for connecting in ssl mode:
DAL('postgres://postgres:draganova_si...@n1.theobviousthings.com/sshfw', driver_args={"sslmode":"require", "sslrootcert":"root.crt", "sslcert": "postgresql.crt", "sslkey":"postgresql.key"}) where sslrootcert, sslcert and sslkey must contain the full paths to the files.
