[GoogleCodeExporter]

SSL verification errors can happen due to a number of reasons:
* General network issues
* A real SSL issue (there could be a captive portal in between you and Google)
* A Python version/system libraries with SSL issues (2.7.11 seems to work for 
most users, but you can try different minor versions, like 2.7.10 or 2.7.9).

Can you verify that none of these are the cause?
