SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool

Hello,

I was trying to run similarity searches by using:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from chembl_webresource_client.new_client import new_client
from rdkit import Chem
from rdkit.Chem import Draw 
from time import sleep

[...]

for smile in SMILES:
  tmp = pd.DataFrame()
  tmp['SMILES'] = smile
  records = similarity.filter(smiles=smile, similarity=70)
  [...]
  hmp2_hmdb_chembl = pd.concat([hmp2_hmdb_chembl, tmp]
  sleep(10)

Unfortunately I ran across the dreaded urllib3 error SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool. Now I cannot even run from chembl_webresource_client.new_client import new_client that I got this error thrown.

I have used the same script months ago but without the similarity search (only identity search via SMILES string). Any idea on how to fix it? Rebooting, spawn new sessions or reinstalling urllib3 did not help. Similar to another thread I saw here, but in my case just waiting for a couple of days did not solve either.

Thanks
