Anyone have issues with tweepy and ssl? I thought about manually changing the tweepy code, but not sure what exactly would need to be changed. I set up my OAuth and am calling tweepy.API(auth). I tried to add a verify=false in there, but that throws an error as I don't think it is allowed in the current version of tweepy.

Here is my error:

Try to install the next packages,

pip install pyOpenSSL pyasn1 certifi

And try to run code again.

    That gave me a bad handshake too: (Caused by SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'tls_process_server_certificate', 'certificate verify failed')],)",),)) – user6754289 Sep 15 '17 at 14:05
  • If you using Mac OS, try `which openssl` if you don't have openssl yet, please try to install `brew install openssl`, and run code again;) –  Sep 15 '17 at 14:12
  • You should to check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37349419/tweepy-sslerror-regarding-ssl-certificate or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10667960/python-requests-throwing-up-sslerror –  Sep 15 '17 at 14:29

I had SSL issues and I had to import this lib to fix the issue.

import urllib3.contrib.pyopenssl

urllib3.contrib.pyopenssl.inject_into_urllib3()
