title: How do add SSL certificate to python 2.7.9
body: <p>I recently upgraded to python 2.7.9, and I'm experiencing all sorts of SSL errors:</p>
  
  <pre><code>.SSL verification error: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:590)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I paid for an SSL certificate, how do I set it up so that python stops complaining. I received a .crt file, how do I convert that to a .pem? Also, is there any way to fix this globally, such that I don't have to go and change all my all code?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
  
  <p>FYI, when I type this: conda install python=2.7.7, I get these errors:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Fetching package metadata: SSL verification error: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:590)
  SSL verification error: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:590)
  .SSL verification error: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:590)
  SSL verification error: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:590)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>so this has nothing to do with any specific URLs, it's a configuration issue, and my question is how do I tell python where to look for my .crt files.</p>
