I am having the same exact issue

requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='p57-photosws.icloud.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /ph/startup?clientBuildNumber=14E45&dsid=11336603146&clientId=086D32AC-641D-11E7-A4EB-08002775F583 (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7f43c69fc310>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -2] Name or service not known',))

me three. Is pcsRequired: True the problem?

(Pdb) p self.webservices['photos']
{u'url': u'https://p53-photosws.icloud.com:443', u'status': u'active', u'pcsRequired': True, u'uploadUrl': u'https://p53-uploadphotosws.icloud.com:443'}

#23 solved this for me

@jmordkoff Would you mind elaborating? #23 is not that clear to me.
Although if that issue solves this one, maybe the explanation should go there and this be marked as a duplicate?

This is definitely a duplicate of #23 which is ultimately due to picklepete/pyicloud#136 .

Hello, sorry this is happening! This project is just a small wrapper around the pyicloud library, so it might be better to post an issue over there.

So,what is the solution to this problem? I am facing the same problem.
