Whenever i am trying to query the device i get the below error

get_vpc(switch) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pycsco/nxos/utils/nxapi_lib.py", line 1686, in get_vpc data = device.show(command) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pycsco/nxos/device.py", line 111, in show data = self.sw1.send_req() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pycsco/nxos/nxapi.py", line 287, in send_req return req.get_resp(self.req_to_string(), self.cookie, self.timeout) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pycsco/nxos/nxapi.py", line 141, in get_resp timeout=timeout)) as resp: File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 154, in urlopen return opener.open(url, data, timeout) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 437, in open response = meth(req, response) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 550, in http_response 'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 469, in error result = self._call_chain(*args) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 409, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 656, in http_error_302 return self.parent.open(new, timeout=req.timeout) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 431, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 449, in _open '_open', req) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 409, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1258, in https_open context=self._context, check_hostname=self._check_hostname) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1214, in do_open raise URLError(err) urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:579)>
