Python script fails with: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED]

[John_Dumbar]

Python: 3.8
Jira module: jira-2.0.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl

This is my python script:

from jira.client import JIRA
import getpass

passwd = getpass.getpass('Password: ')

jira = JIRA(options = {'server': 'https://jira.example.com'}, basic_auth=('username', passwd))

And the output is:

WARNING:root:HTTPSConnectionPool(host='jira.example.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /rest/api/2/serverInfo (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1108)'))) while doing GET https://jira.example.com/rest/api/2/serverInfo [{'params': None, 'headers': {'User-Agent': 'python-requests/2.24.0', 'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate', 'Accept': 'application/json,*.*;q=0.9', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'Cache-Control': 'no-cache', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'X-Atlassian-Token': 'no-check'}}]

This issue has been solved with the following modification to code:

import jira.client
from jira import JIRA
import getpass
import urllib3
urllib3.disable_warnings()

passwd = getpass.getpass("Password: ")
jira = JIRA(options = {'server': 'https://jira.example.com', 'verify': False}, basic_auth=('username', passwd))

I am NOT sure if you still need answer but I found an answer just now. Just install "python-certifi-win32" and boom, certification error is cleared.

"Server" should be outside of "options" and NO need for 

import getpass

passwd = getpass.getpass('Password: ')

Unless you need encryted password.

Hello, 

I am also getting same issue while executing the script. My OS and python version is:

Python2.7

CentOS 7.9

I added the certificate in the script for the verification which is required and cant disable it (False)

i tested the script with Python3.6 but the issue is still same.

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/__init__.py:91: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (1.24.1) or chardet (2.2.1) doesn't match a supported version!  (The error was fixed in Python3.6)
