here is my code

import urllib2
url = 'https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+1&version=NIV'
response = urllib2.urlopen(url)
html = response.read()

Answer 1

Here is a good reference for fetching url.

In python 3 you can have:

from urllib.request import urlopen
URL = 'https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+1&version=NIV'
f = urlopen(URL)
myfile = f.read()
print(myfile)

Not sure it clears a ssl problem though. Maybe some clues here.
