I'm using geopy in an application Python 3.6
and I have to run it on an outdated machine that uses Windows 2012 Server
. The problem arises when the application calls this library ( geopy ) on this server, since it returns the following error:
File "C:\ServAPI\Util.py", line 12, in getLocation
location = geolocator.geocode(name)
File "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\geopy\geocoders\osm.py", line 193, in geocode
self._call_geocoder(url, timeout=timeout), exactly_one
File "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\geopy\geocoders\base.py", line 171, in _call_geocoder
raise GeocoderServiceError(message)
geopy.exc.GeocoderServiceError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:748)
Does anyone know how to solve this error? Thanks
UPDATE
The code that gives the error is the following:
from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim
from geopy.exc import GeocoderTimedOut
# Dado el nombre de una ciudad, devuelve sus coordenadas
def getLocation(name):
geolocator = Nominatim()
try:
location = geolocator.geocode(name, timeout=5)
return location
except GeocoderTimedOut as e:
print("Error: geocode failed on input %s with message %s" % (e.msg))
Also, when I run it on my local machine ( Windows 10
), it works without problems (already, I know, it sounds like "it works for me locally", but it's the truth)
