Magic, ty. :o

For reference, here is where this gist is coming from: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Mac/BuildScript/resources/install_certificates.command

i get an error that i dont have permission

Thanks :)

great! but apparently my certificate are in anaconda3 and I have the following error:

os.remove(openssl_cafile)
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: 'anaconda3'

After 2 days of searching...this solved my issues, thank you!

thanks it worked :)

its nice but I have a error and i dont no how fix it:

Thank you!!

File "D:\PTest\ssl_certificate.py", line 29, in main
os.chdir(openssl_dir)
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL'
such folder is not there in my windows 11

Update:
Fixed it by creating a folder named SSL in C:\Program Files\Common Files\

I got the following errror:
Could not fetch URL https://pypi.org/simple/certifi/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='pypi.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /simple/certifi/ (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:992)'))) - skipping
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement certifi (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for certifi

I'm in Windows 10. How to resolve this error? Thanks.

Thanks, it solves my problem!

Thanks! You'r the best!

Yes!! It runs! Thanks for that life saver!

perfect!! thanks

I use Win11, and first it didn't find the directory, so I created the folder 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL' manually.
Then, I'm having this error - ideas?

Traceback (most recent call last):

PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: '..\..\..\...\venv\lib\site-packages\certifi\cacert.pem' -> 'cert.pem'

Edit: I was too quick to post. It failed when running from PyCharm but then worked when running it via Powershell as admin

thank you

Thank you .. helped a lot

Thanks a lot !!

Just change this part to not get FileNotFound Error :

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\ssl'

    try:
        os.chdir(openssl_dir)
    except FileNotFoundError:
        os.makedirs(openssl_dir)
        os.chdir(openssl_dir)
