I get the same SSL errors on my linux box when using the python embedded in LibreOffice 5.3. Yet the system python works OK. Something to do with them using different versions of OpenSSL I think. Easy workaround was to add

ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context

somewhere early in the code before attempting any urllib calls. The workaround came from stackoverflow. Probably there are security implications to it but if you just want the public (no apikey) stuff to work with the least amount of f***ing around then it’s an easy win.

@walkjivefly it’s better to find and launch that install script to copy their bundled certificates to your LibreOffice environment, or configure LibreOffice somehow, otherwise you will indeed loose security with private calls. I’m not very familiar with LibreOffice, but if there’s a built-in terminal there, you can probably install those certificates inside it. Otherwise there should be an option in their preferences or configs. My 2 cents.
