The official instructions for InstaRaider gave me this SSL InsecurePlatform error when running the python script:

ImportError: cannot import name 'InsecurePlatformWarning'

I found the solution from reading on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29099404/ssl-insecureplatform-error-when-using-requests-package.

Basically, need to install the latest pip (not from apt), specifically invoke python3, and pip install requests[security].

These steps worked flawlessly for me, so I'm posting them as a gist for anyone else to use.
