Python script to pull data from RESTAPI fails with error

When I run my Python script to get data from RESTAPI of an application, I get the following error. I installed PIP and I installed requests package for the python. Here is my below query:
./simpleRunQuery.py <args> <args>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./simpleRunQuery.py", line 25, in <module>
res = requests.post(url, auth=(args.username, args.password), data=jsonRequest, headers=headers)
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/requests/api.py", line 112, in post
return request('post', url, data=data, json=json, **kwargs)
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/requests/api.py", line 58, in request
return session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs)
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 508, in request
resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs)
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 618, in send
r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs)
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 490, in send
raise ConnectionError(err, request=request)
requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', error(54, 'Connection reset by peer'))
I can attach the script, but my script doens't have the lines 112 or 58 or any of these, it's a simple RESTAPI Script that queries and posts results here. Any pointers?

gaierror-2,Name or service name not known) when using requests.post in python

I am trying to send web request to my php code via linux running on raspberry pi. I am using putty to access the OS. When I am running the code, I am getting gai error-2. Below is my code:
import requests
values = {'"firstname":' "abc ", '"lastname":' "xyz"}
r = requests.post('http://rts.msmq.site/security.php', data=values)
I am unable to figure out the problem. Can someone let me know what could be the issue? I am using linux.
Error message:

requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', gaierror(-2, 'Name or service not known'))

gaierror stands for get_address_info_error, which means urllib is having trouble reaching the hostname 'http://rts.msmq.site/security.php', check that you can nslookup rts.msmq.site or dig rts.msmq.site and ping rts.msmq.site

Connection aborted while fetching data from Wikipedia

I wrote a python script to fetch definitions and URLs of list of items (I am using a long list with no less than 3000 items).
The script was working fine, I used it several times, but suddenly I started to get the following error:
('Connection aborted.', error(54, 'Connection reset by peer'))
here is the full traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Wiki.py", line 41, in <module>

raise ConnectionError(err, request=request)

It seems that the while installing the regular requests python library, it does not install the necessary packages to cope for https connections. Install these by:
pip install requests[security]

SSL Handshake error in Python (_ssl.c:590)

I am trying to get a response using python requests. However I'm facing SSL Handshake error. I tried many solutions posted here, but nothing seems to work. Please help. Thanks in advance
This is the code:
import requests
url = "https://androidappsapk.co/download/com.facebook.katana"
requests.get(url, verify = False)
This is the error that I am getting :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/api.py", line 55, in get

return session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs)

raise SSLError(e, request=request)
requests.exceptions.SSLError: [SSL: SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE] sslv3 alert handshake failure (_ssl.c:590)
P.S. - I am using Python 2.7.11

I updated OpenSSL to the latest version and it's working fine now :)

Python requests module

I need to call a web requests and Im using Python request module.
I have a requests being served on a machine For ex:55.84.201.228. When I enter it throught the browser it works fine and Im able to view the webpage..
but when I use the requests.get, it does not work..It errors with a socket error..
>>> import requests
>>> r = requests.get('https://55.84.201.228')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/api.py", line 55, in get
return request('get', url, **kwargs)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/api.py", line 44, in request
return session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 383, in request
resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 486, in send
r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 378, in send
raise ConnectionError(e)
requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='55.84.201.228', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by <class 'socket.error'>: [Errno 110] Connection timed out)
How can I fix this issue?
>>>r = requests.get('https://www.cnn.com')
This works fine.

I am making a wild guess here since I can't access your machine but from experience, since you are using https on what I assume is some test server try
r = requests.get('https://55.84.201.228', verify=False)
According to the documentation certificate verification is on by default.
