Having issues with python pip urllib.request - anyone know how to fix common errors? or Best practice

Yo, SSL errors are the worst. Had the same issue last week.

For python pip urllib.request, try this:

1. Update Python (older versions have cert issues).
2. Use `certifi.where()` to check if certs are found.

If all else fails, this hack works (but not for prod):

```python
import urllib.request
import ssl
context = ssl._create_unverified_context()
response = urllib.request.urlopen('https://example.com', context=context)
```
