requests.exceptions.SSLError > add option to call requests with param verify=False about gtts

[foges]

Similar issue here. I get requests.exceptions.SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)

Me too!

I can suppress the error when i add the option verify=False to the requests command in the gtts_token package on line 58.

However, i am also searching for a better solution ...

Hello,
I installed gtts using "pip install gTTS" and I get the ssl error when trying the commandline utility:
gtts-cli.py "Hello" -l 'en' -o hello.mp3
[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:600)

I tried to reinstall requests and certifi but no change.
How should I try the above approach ?

r = requests.get(self.GOOGLE_TTS_URL, params=payload, headers=headers)
change to
r = requests.get(self.GOOGLE_TTS_URL, params=payload, headers=headers,verify=False)

After changing .../gTTS-master/gtts/tts.py line 114 I assume I have to rbuild the utility (?)
Simply using "pip install gTTS" again, seems to download a fresh source and my changes are ignored.
I'm not experienced with Python stuff at all, I just need to use the tool to make some text available for vison impaired. Any help highly welcome, thx.

Tried to change line 114 in /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/gtts/tts.py
but the error remains.

Work around:

in
/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/requests/sessions.py

change line 572 from:

        # Send the request
        r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs)

to read

        # Send the request
        kwargs['verify'] = False
        r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs)

works now, thank you very much !

Hi! gTTS 1.2.0 was released, fixing this. SSL verify is now always false, since we can live w/o it in our case.

After making changes use these lines of code in the file where u are using tts.save() to avoid warnings.

import urllib3

urllib3.disable_warnings()
