Wordpress xmlrpc SSL Certificate Error (Only On 1 Machine)

I'm using the Wordpress xmlrpc Python module on Python 3.6 to automatically write and publish blog posts to my Wordpress site (hosted directly by Wordpress).
The program runs great on one of my Windows machines, but when I try to run it using my second Windows machine, with the exact same code, on the same network, I receive an SSL error. Details below:
import ssl
import wordpress_xmlrpc
from wordpress_xmlrpc import Client
from wordpress_xmlrpc import WordPressPost
from wordpress_xmlrpc.methods.posts import GetPosts
from wordpress_xmlrpc.methods.posts import NewPost
from wordpress_xmlrpc.methods.users import GetUserInfo
from wordpress_xmlrpc.methods import posts
from wordpress_xmlrpc.compat import xmlrpc_client
wp = Client("https://website.io/xmlrpc.php", "wordpressusername", "wordpresspassword")
post = WordPressPost()
post.title = "title"
post.content = content
post.post_status = 'publish'
status_draft = 0
status_published = 1
wp.call(NewPost(post))
Here's the error:
File "C:\Python36\Lib\http\client.py", line 964, in send

ssl.SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:748)
I've used pip list to view all installed modules on both machines and everything matches exactly. The code is stored on a synced Google Drive folder, so it's literally the exact same .py file both times. I can't understand why it works on one machine but not the other.
I've read the thread here but I don't believe it applies to the wordpress xmlrpc tool. I've read through the documentation here but I can't see anything helpful.
Is this something I have to tweak/delete/refresh the ssl certificates in Chrome or something? Any answers or insight much appreciated. Thanks in advance

So, 3 weeks later, I finally found a way to fix this.
I ended up completely uninstalling/deleting Python on my secondary machine and reinstalling everything (along with reinstalling all modules, and confirming via pip list) and now it works (no more SSL error).
For what it's worth, and I can't be sure this is what was causing the issue in the first place, but previously, I was running Python 3.6.1 on the working machine and python 3.6.2 on the other, non-working machine.
When I reinstalled everything, I reinstalled Python 3.6.1 (to match the working machine) and it worked on both.

Softlayer Python API TransportError SSL CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED (_SSL.C:590)

What used to be working python code to make API calls from SoftLayer, now gives errors.
import SoftLayer
conn = SoftLayer.create_client_from_env(username='',api_key='')
allParents = conn.call('Account','getAllTopLevelBillingItems')
allParents[0] # returns the first billing_Item as a dict
It used to work, but now the following error messages appear:
result = conn['SoftLayer_Account'].getAllTopLevelBillingItems(mask=objectMask)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/SoftLayer/API.py", line 363, in call_handler

raise exceptions.TransportError(0, str(ex))
SoftLayer.exceptions.TransportError: TransportError(0): [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:590)

This may be related with this one SSL InsecurePlatform error when using Requests package
Softlayer has documented this about SSL errors:
On Python versions below Python 2.7.9, requests has started emitting a security warning (InsecurePlatformWarning) due to insecurities with creating SSL connections. To resolve this, upgrade to Python 2.7.9+ or follow the instructions here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/29099439.
please make sure you are using Python 2.7.9 or supirior and try again

I found a couple of months ago that if the python certifi package was installed, this would cause SoftLayer API traffic to fail certificate validation.
I never found out why, I just avoided the packages that created that dependency. In my case, I was trying to install flower.

Python requests.exceptions.SSLError: EOF occurred in violation of protocol

I would retrieve some information from an ABB G13 gateway that offer a RESTful JSON API. API is hosted by the gateway via https endpoint.
Basic authentication mechanism is used for authentication. However all traffic
goes through SSL layers.
On linux with command:
curl -s -k -X GET -u user:password https://host/meters/a_serial/power
All goes well!
I'm trying to write a script for windows in Python 2.7.10 with Requests 2.8.1 and with this code:
import requests
requests.get('https://host/meters/a_serial/power', auth=('user', 'password'))
I have this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/mzilio/PycharmProjects/pwrgtw/test.py", line 20, in <module>

raise SSLError(e, request=request)
requests.exceptions.SSLError: EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:590)
I've searched for a solution and I've tried to fix with this code:
import requests
from requests.adapters import HTTPAdapter
from requests.packages.urllib3.poolmanager import PoolManager
import ssl
class MyAdapter(HTTPAdapter):
def init_poolmanager(self, connections, maxsize, block=False):
self.poolmanager = PoolManager(num_pools=connections,
maxsize=maxsize,
block=block,
ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1)
s = requests.Session()
s.mount('https://', MyAdapter())
s.get('https://host/meters/a_serial/power')
But it doesn't work for me cause I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/mzilio/PycharmProjects/pwrgtw/test.py", line 16, in <module>

raise SSLError(e, request=request)
requests.exceptions.SSLError: EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:590)
I'm stuck on this problem. Could someone help me? Thanks!

This thing worked for me, just make sure whether these modules are installed or not, if not then install them, following are:
pip install ndg-httpsclient
pip install pyopenssl
pip install pyasn1
It removed my SSLError: EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:590) error.
Hope it helps.

Step 1: Check that Python supports TLS 1.1
You may have a Python setup that only supports TLS 1.0 – not TLS 1.1 or above.
You can check it like this:
Python 3
from urllib.request import urlopen
urlopen('https://www.howsmyssl.com/a/check').read()
Python 2
from urllib2 import urlopen
urlopen('https://www.howsmyssl.com/a/check').read()
(If you get urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:852)> you may have to disable certificate verification. NOTE: doing this will disable SSL protections against evildoers who would impersonate or intercept traffic to that website - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack
)
import ssl
urlopen('https://www.howsmyssl.com/a/check', context=ssl._create_unverified_context()).read()
Check the output for the key tls_version. If it says TLS 1.0 and not TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2 that could be the problem.
If you're using a virtualenv, be sure to run the command inside.
Step 2: Install Python with a newer version of OpenSSL
In order support TLS 1.1 or above, you may need to install a newer version of OpenSSL, and the install Python again afterwards. This should give you a Python that supports TLS 1.1.
The process depends on your operating system – here's a guide for OS X.
virtualenv users
For me, the Python outside of my virtualenv had TLS 1.2 support, so just I removed my old virtualenv, and created a new one with the same packages and then it worked. Easy peasy!

I found it was going through a proxy when it should have connected to the server directly.
I fixed this by doing
unset https_proxy

I had exactly the same error, turns out that I didn't have ndg-httpsclient installed, see my original issue raised in github.

If you are getting this error for intermediate requests, you can refer to the solution mentioned in https://github.com/requests/requests/issues/3391.
Basically, if you are making a lot of requests to a server and facing this issue with some of those requests you can use Session to just retry the requests.
Let me know if this works.

Close you proxy and try it again.

The only time I have seen errors of this nature have been times that I was using requests to screen scrape data and I was using a multiprocessing library. I would either try your code without the pool manager or split your app into two apps, one that doles out urls and another that consumes them.
The client-server pair here should give you some ideas. I was able to scale my client out horizontally when I used the hacky server code to load all urls into a Queue in memory just before app.run. Hope that helps.

ENV: Python 3.10, www.howsmyssl.com returns tls_version: TLS 1.3:
For poor guys like me who MUST make query thorough proxy, this cloud be blame on your incorrect HTTPS proxy setting (perhaps you aren't set it, but python somehow believes you've set it, don't know why exactly, maybe because you've set the http proxy), you need to set it "properly".
I'm using windows10, haven't set it before, after set it, python works normally, give it a try.

try to run:
pip install urllib3==1.25.11
It works for me anyway.

Azure ML Execute Python Module: Network I/O Disabled?

Is there no way to connect to a URL from azure ml and get it's content
my code:
import requests
def azureml_main(dataframe1 = None, dataframe2 = None):
b= requests.get("http://www.google.com",timeout=30)
dataframe1 = b.content
return dataframe1
Is there any change need to be made to connect to URL

UPDATE 1/28/2016
Network I/O for Execute Python Script is now supported.
Out of date
Network I/O is not support from Execute Python Modules. In order to execute such a program, you should instead launch a virtual machine(Windows or Linux your choice).
Windows:
RDP into Virtual Machine
Install your choice of Python
You can drag and drop your Python program from your Local Windows machine onto your RDP screen to transfer your code
Then run your program
Ubuntu:
SSH into your virtual machine using Cygwin or Putty(Windows) or Terminal SSH (mac) ssh yourUserName#yourAzureVM.cloudapps.net
install Python sudo apt-get install python
open your preferred Linux text editor vi myProgram.py
Copy and Paste your code into the editor (leave vi with esc :wq )
Run your code python myProgram.py
To move data from your VM to AzureML please check out the Azure-MachineLearning-ClientLibrary-Python on Github

Python SSL connection "EOF occurred in violation of protocol"

I'm using Django Celery task to connect to Facebook Graph API with requests lib using Gevent. Issue I'm constantly running at is that every now and then I get EOF occurred in violation of protocol exception. I've searched around and various sources offer different fixes but none seems to work.
I've tried monkey patching the ssl module(gevent.monkey.patch_all()) and some others too but no luck.
I'm not even sure if this is openssl issue as some sources might suggest as I haven't encountered it before applying Gevent optimisation

SSLError: [Errno 8] _ssl.c:504: EOF occurred in violation of protocol
I'm using latest 1.0rc Gevent version.
Another issue that keeps poping up time to time although URL is correct is:
Retrying (5 attempts remain) after connection broken by 'error(2, 'No such file or directory')': /ID/events?limit=5000&fields=description,name,location,start_time,end_time&access_token=TOKEN

Using the forced TLSv1 fix as suggested by J.F Sebastian fixed all the issues I was facing.
Hints for future questions regarding:
DNSError exception - upgrading Gevent from 0.13.X to 1.0rc fixes this issue
SSL issues - look at fix in link provided by J.F Sebastian

I installed the latest Python 2.7 (2.7.11) and the problem went away. I believe the problem might even be solved back in 2.7.6 (I was using 2.7.5 on Mac OSX).

I was having the same error during fetching tweets for my machine learning . Doing the pip install of the following helped me. This works:
pip install ndg-httpsclient
pip install pyopenssl
pip install pyasn1
It removed my SSLError: EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:590) error.
Hope it helps.
