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.
