Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported curl command on a Mac and inspect the resulting Python SSL error. The issue does not name an installer file or test, so first determine which part of the installation script handles certificate verification. Done means the installation command works in the reported environment or the required environment-specific limitation is documented.

Description

I'm trying to download Poetry onto my Mac using [curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -] and I'm getting the following error code:

urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1028)>

Somewhere there's a certificate verification failing, and I don't have the skills necessary to be able to figure it out as I'm just a Python newbie.
