Thanks for submitting. Will have a look.

Hi @VogonogoV,

ssl._create_unverified_context is present in Python 2.7.9 and later. If you can get a hold of a later Python, that should solve your problem.

In the mean time, I will see if I can add a work-around that works in 2.7.8.

Thanks!

Hi @VogonogoV

I just pushed a possible fix to the branch ssl_noverify_oldpython. Can you checkout that branch and give it a try?

Thanks!
