produces the InsecurePlatformWarning as described at https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning. So I need to update my python 2.7 (Win 64). This used to be no problem (just install over the old), but I've switched to using the Canopy Python distribution. How best to proceed?
