That’s probably an incompatibility between python and openssl http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27804710/python-urllib2-ssl-error/27826829#27826829

Honestly, @jayfk IMHO this is a README fix.

Bundling the certs with the binary seems like a bad choice IMHO. It is not done currently so we are doing the right thing now. If we just specify that this environment variable needs to be set, one should be fine.

Alternatively, we could search multiple paths setting that variable after checking a bunch. This is what libcloud does as shown by this code. We just can’t use certifi as that amounts to bundling the certs too.
