TypeError: stat: can't specify None for path argument

Hi.

When I try to use the program (google_speech -l en "Hello $USER, it is $(date)" or any of the usage examples) I get this:

TypeError: stat: can't specify None for path argument
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/google_speech", line 11, in <module>

I think I have the necessary requirements installed (Python 3.4 and SoX with MP3 support). I have installed the program with PIP and from source with identical results. I'm using openSUSE Tumbleweed. Any hints?

Hi,

It seems the requests library can not find on your system a CA store needed to validate https URLs.

The best solution would be to install the certify package with pip (pip3 install certify), which will install recent root certificates that will then be properly detected by requests.

Please tell me if that fixes it

Hi.

Yes, once installed certify it works fine. Thank you very much.

Greetings.
