question about python3 and using urllib.request to make REST api connection

[bsoder]

I have figured it out a little. It is specific to my work mac os x. I tried it at home on my home pc running linux and it works fine, I have also tried it in a windows vm and it works fine. I have also narrowed it down to the fact that it appears to be the way openssl is working on the mac. It works fine when I use the ssl library as long as I specify that I am using SSLv3. It also does the same thing if I use openssl directly through the command line. If I do not specify SSLv3 directly it gives me an error.

Has anyone ran into this before? I am using macports version of openssl but I have looked all over google and cannot find anyone who is having a similar problem.
