I have managed to royally screw myself over by doing something which seemed innocuous.

i was getting the following error from my python script (brand['feed'] = the URL i'm making the request to):

**C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\requests\packages\urllib3\util\ssl_.py:90: InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail. For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning.

  InsecurePlatformWarning

    data = requests.get(brand['feed'])

requests.exceptions.SSLError: [Errno 1] _ssl.c:507: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed**

So i asked the internet and the internet said do this:

pip install --upgrade ndg-httpsclient

So i did that and now i keep getting a RuntimeError when i run the same script, what's crazy is even if i just try and run pip in the shell, i get the same error!!

I have searched this error and can't seem to find anything which helps. I'm using python 2.7.6 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit

Re-installing Python fixed this problem
