AttributeError 'SSLSocket' object has not attribute 'connection'

I am attempting to make a simple call via boto3 to get parameters from the SSM store. However, when I make a basic call, I am consistently running into an internal boto3 error. Not sure if boto3 is broken or if I am just doing something wrong…

import boto3

region = 'us-east-1'
session = boto3.Session(region_name = region, profile_name = 'custom')
ssm = session.client('ssm')

test = ssm.get_parameters(Name = '/location/to/desired/params', WithDecryption=True)

This is consistently providing the following error after the last line:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I did try upgrading boto3 and I am still having the error. Note I am running this in Spyder.

yeah snowflake connector is an embarrasment… still seing this issue every week 😄

It is truly one of the worst packages I have used to-date. Lets hope they rebuild their package with all that fresh IPO money they just got.

@WolVecz - Thank you for your post. It looks like the error is coming from snowflake connector. Are you suing snowflake connector in your code ? I found some issue in snowflake github repo which might help: https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowflake-connector-python/issues/324

It looks like an issue with snowflake connector rather than boto3. I would recommend checking their github repo.
