7 years ago Hey Richard, thanks for writing in.
So first of all if I am correct, this issue is related to the recent SSL cert upgrade on the JPL servers (it was in january I think) and that the python you are using is using an old OpenSSL version which can't work with the newer cert.
There is at least one other user with the same error but they have not written back to me yet on the success of my half-remembered fix, so I will check on that. ~That fix is installing/upgrading pyopenssl and trying again~. You may also need to install a new version of OpenSSL first using something like MacPorts or Homebrew. But since you are using canopy I am not exactly sure what other steps may be involved. I can find some relevant links for you, but I would just be googling 'python upgrade openssl'.
The alternative is to clone or download the release and then download the correct version of spice and extract it to a folder called cspice within the repository folder and then you can install by running python setup.py install
EDIT: see note below about upgrading openssl

I tried pip install spiceypy running pip from /Users/rfrench/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin/pip
I get an error that it can't find cspice.tar.Z, but I was able to follow the "Best option" URL https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/misc/toolkit_N0065/C/MacIntel_OSX_AppleC_64bit/packages/cspice.tar.Z to get cspice on my own. However, I don't know where to install it to make pip happy. Any suggestions?
