Incase you missed it! Celebrating the arrival of spring! I've always loved how these two flowers speckle the hills and fields this time of year.

Purchase on 🤘 Bandcamp and Listen on 🙉 Spotify or any of your favorite streaming services!

Busy week, but I have a quick edge case to share:

We've upgraded to a newer version of Python for our microservices at work. While making the transition, I bumped into an error sending http requests through urllib3:

SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED

I've come across this issue before, having to manually add certs. The solution involved low level work and was gnarly to handle! Thankfully, though, with Python 3.6 and higher, the solution is more straightforward.

It's largely outlined in this Stack Overflow post by Craig Glennie. The gist is that on Mac, you actually have to run a post install script located in your Applications/Python folder.

If you follow along with Craig's post, you'll find that the documentation for it is even there in the Python README. Always good to read the manual!

Listened exclusively to early Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings of Louis Armstrong the other week. Nothing better to brighten your mood!
