Okay, try to reinstall modules using

pip uninstall modulename
pip installmodulename==version

for these modules:

requests (1.2.0)
certifi (2015.4.28)

This setup has worked for me.

I have the same error when running the script with Python 2.7.9 on armv7l with requests version 2.5.1

I tried this (unsafe) code:

import ssl
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context

but it does not work with this library although other Speech APIs work again with this code.

Any suggestions?
