Smartsheet-api and Python SDK certificate verify failed

Question

I am having a basic problem with the SmartSheet Python SDK. I am using Python 3.4

Using the following sample code from the SmartSheet docs:

import smartsheet

smartsheet = smartsheet.Smartsheet(MY_TOKEN_HERE)

me = smartsheet.Users.get_current_user()

print(me)

the line me = smartsheet.Users.get_current_user()

will cause multiple errors of this type

ssl.SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:600)

My token works with both REST API via POSTMAN and simply using Python/Requests functionality

What am I missing ?

I'd suggest that you try using version 2015.04.28 of certifi:

pip uninstall certifi
pip install certifi==2015.04.28
