I was also facing this error

Try Using

import feedparser
import ssl
ssl._create_default_https_context=ssl._create_unverified_context

feedparser.parse(rss) #this will work

You can also use requests instead:

import requests

feed_content = requests.get(feed_url)
feed = feedparser.parse(feed_content.text)

although I don't know why requests has success when it verifies the certificate and feedparser doesn't.
