Description
The Python 3.6 installers for macOS from python.org bundle a custom build of OpenSSL, rather than building against the Apple provided OpenSSL version. The installer does not automatically install any CA certificates. You have to run a script after installation to install an up to date CA bundle:
open "/Applications/Python 3.6/Install Certificates.command"
|
Before running that script connections to Atlas will fail certificate verification. After running the script connections will succeed. More details are available here:
https://bugs.python.org/issue29065#msg283984
This problem will affect any user of Python 3.6.0+ from python.org on macOS (users of python 3.6 installed by other means - like homebrew - are likely unaffected). Previous Python versions (<=3.5) are not affected.
