pshell troubleshooting

This page:


WARNING: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED]

Sometimes the following occurs when attempting to run pshell:

WARNING: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1108)

This is most commonly a problem with the setup of OpenSSL that the Python distribution is attempting to use. The fix depends on a number of things, such as the OS and Python distribution you're using.

For example, on OS-X, the standard Python distribution has a script that needs to be run to configure certificates properly:

cd "/Applications/Python 3.8/"
sudo "./Install Certificates.command"

On other systems, the following may fix the issue:

pip install certifi
