Changed the request method to 'requests.get()' instead of 'urllib.urlopen()' to fix SSL issues. #29

The ANU server has an SSL certificate that cannot be verified.

To fix this, I replaced urllib.open() with requests.get() so that I could use the verify=False flag. Without this flag the generator could not be fixed on our end without breaking other modules that require SSL (for example, pymongo).

This is working for me, hopefully it works for others.

That fix works great for me, thanks!

This is clearly not getting pulled, so I am maintaining a version of it myself at identex/quantumrand
