GAE SDK 1.8.3 Python: InvalidCertificateException on deploy

Question

I keep getting the below error every time I do a deploy after updating GAE to a new version (1.8.3 in this case).

I have read other questions about this and the going recommendation is to delete /Applications/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/GoogleAppEngine-default.bundle/Contents/Resources/google_appengine/lib/cacerts/*cacerts.txt

Does anyone know of a better fix than deleting these files after every update?

Note: I have the Python SSL module installed

If deploy fails you might need to 'rollback' manually.
The "Make Symlinks..." menu option can help with command-line work.

There is a copy of fancy_urllib inside fancy_urllib where the __init__.py is with InvalidCertificateException class definition.

Just copy .../fancy_urllib/fancy_urllib/__init__.py to .../fancy_urllib/__init__.py
