I hae the trouble in 'windows'. I have checked the post previously. The suggested answer is not applicable to me as I cannot find "certificates" file anywhere in my python installation. — Vishnu Varma Sagiraju, Nov 08 '19 at 20:53
How did you solve it? I am facing the same challenge in Win 10. — Aakash Basu, Feb 09 '20 at 07:41
