-2

I have posted this question before and it seems like no one is able to guide me. I want to run tweepy on Python 3. I have it working on Python 2 right now.

I followed the steps on this page

https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy

When I go to write 

python3 setup.py install

I get this message of it downloading which obviously means it is not downloading properly.

Why won't it download properly on Python 3?

  • do I need to install an older python 3 version? – Brit Oct 30 '17 at 22:48
  • no you don't, also see this : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21265616/python-easy-install-fails-with-ssl-certificate-error-for-all-packages – harveyslash Oct 30 '17 at 22:49
  • i'm confused exactly how to fix it since i don't know if the links you are sending are for window users – Brit Oct 30 '17 at 22:51
  • Are you not using pip? – emporerblk Oct 30 '17 at 22:53
  • found this on GitHub. This might have also been because I recently switched to a new machine and it's still only partially installed :) For future reference: if you want to use the Python dmg installer, you also have to read Python 3's ReadMe and run the /Applications/Python 3.6/Install Certificates.command bash script to install newer certs. Thanks for the quick response, @aselle! – harveyslash Oct 30 '17 at 22:56
  • yes I am using pip, i used pip to install tweepy (As shown in the link) @harvey_slash what are you referring to? did you mean to post that comment in this thread? – Brit Oct 30 '17 at 22:57
  • did you install python from the dmg ? the problem is that the certificates are not installed. Run the command mentioned in my older comment, that installs the certificate – harveyslash Oct 30 '17 at 22:59
  • @harvey_slash whats a dmg? also I was confused with that post because i didn't understand what package I use to put in place of what the person posted. i.e. ( pip install --index-url=http://pypi.python.org/simple/ --trusted-host pypi.python.org ) – Brit Oct 30 '17 at 23:01

the solution:

The problem isn't with tweepy it is with the certification in python3 so to fix that look at this link Python 3 : SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED

then to install tweepy type python3 setup.py install
