Description

bug help wanted

We're experiencing errors with certificate verification via default installations of Python on macOS. We either need to attempt to load better versions of Python on macOS by default, such as those installed by brew, or find some means to easily install the correct certificates on macOS so requests to the services on macOS are as secure as they should be. Certificate verification has temporarily been disabled until we can apply a proper patch.
