python requests ssl handshake failure
Question: Every time I try to do:

    
    
    requests.get('https://url') 
    

I got this message:

    
    
    import requests
    >>> requests.get('https://reviews.gethuman.com/companies') 
    Traceback (most recent call last): 
       File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> 
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/api.py", line 55, in get 
        return request('get', url, **kwargs) 
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/api.py", line 44, in request 
        return session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs)    
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 455, in request 
        resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs) 
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 558, in send 
        r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs) 
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 385, in send 
        raise SSLError(e) requests.exceptions.SSLError: [Errno 1]
    _ssl.c:510: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure
    

I tried everything:

  * update my requests
  * update my ssl 

but nothing changes.

I am using Python 2.7.6, can't change this.


Answer: I resolve the problem in the end i updated my ubuntu from 14.04 to 14.10 and
the problem was solved

but in the older version of ubuntu and python I install those lib and it seems
to fix all my problems

    
    
    sudo apt-get install python-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev
    sudo pip2.7 install -U pyopenssl==0.13.1 pyasn1 ndg-httpsclient
    

if you don`t have pip2.7 installed you can use pip instead
