Error in SSLCertVerification

I’m encountering an SSL certificate verification error while trying to use the OpenAI API in Python. The error occurs when I attempt to send a request to the API, and the exact message is:

SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1000)

I don’t think this is a bug, it looks like your SSL certificate is non-existent or invalid or something else. This is a setup problem, not an openAI problem.
