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):
File "C:...\certif.py", line 44, in
main()
File "C:...\certif.py", line 38, in main
os.symlink(relpath_to_certifi_cafile, openssl_cafile)
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)
