When running the code below in Python 2.7.10 under Anaconda with no Conda virtual environment, it works fine. That's one year ago.
from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
geolocator = Nominatim()
location = geolocator.reverse("16.890568, 42.543554", language="en")
Got this error if running the same code now in Anaconda Conda virtual environment in which the root is Python 3.6 and the used virtual environment is Python 2.7.
GeocoderServiceError:
<urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:661)>
Tried to search SO, Google and check geopy, still found no answer. During the search, it seems that to disable ssl certificate check might be a viable solution but don't know how. Welcome for any advice.
Come across this site and got the workaround to make it works again. Just insert the try-except-else code before assigning the geolocator.
from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
# Disable SSL certificate verification
try:
_create_unverified_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
except AttributeError:
# Legacy Python that doesn't verify HTTPS certificates by default
pass
else:
# Handle target environment that doesn't support HTTPS verification
ssl._create_default_https_context = _create_unverified_https_context
location = geolocator.reverse("16.890568, 42.543554", language="en")
