https:// does not work with Python 3.6

See original GitHub issue

When requesting a https:// url, request method falls into an infinite recursion.

The issue is this method in python/ssl.py.

    @options.setter
    def options(self, value):
        super(SSLContext, SSLContext).options.__set__(self, value)

The commit which introduced this line to python is this https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/c32e9f9b00f7.

The actual error looks like this:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 501, in get
    return self.request('GET', url, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 488, in request
    resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs)

Requests has some problems with gevent and monkey patching because it performs feature detection on the select module at import time. A future release will bring it up to date with a newer urllib3 that contains fixes for this problem, but in the meantime gevent’s monkey patch should be applied before importing requests.
