SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED

Hey there!

I'm trying to run the main.py with: python main.py -a "google" -u "--@gmail.com" -p "password" -l "Washington Square, New York"

But I get this as error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 247, in <module>
    main()
  File "main.py", line 206, in main
    set_location(args.location)
  File "main.py", line 47, in set_location
    loc = geolocator.geocode(location_name)
  File "c:\Python27\lib\site-packages\geopy\geocoders\googlev3.py", line 217, in geocode
    self._call_geocoder(url, timeout=timeout), exactly_one
  File "c:\Python27\lib\site-packages\geopy\geocoders\base.py", line 171, in _call_geocoder
    raise GeocoderServiceError(message)
geopy.exc.GeocoderServiceError: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:590)>

I installed the requirements. and I'm using Python 2.7.11. How can I fix this?

Thanks :)!

How did you install the reqs?

pip2.7 install -r requirements.txt just works fine for me ;)

[marcianosr]

I used python -m pip install -r requirements.txt. It says all dependencies are installed. Pip freezes my terminal...

[andrzej-jedrzejewski]

what is your OS?

[marcianosr]

I'm using Windows 8.1 :-)

So maybe try to revert to [https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.6/](python 2.6.6)

Thanks! I fixed it! Still using python 2.7.

My pip froze because of my avast antivirus program. I just killed it temporary and now it works. Thanks for the help :)
