Anyone have an idea why I might be getting this error?

"InvalidCertificateException: Host appengine.google.com returned an invalid certificate (_ssl.c:507: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed)"

I recently re-installed the Go App Engine SDK, and tried to push a new application for the first time.

On my first deploy attempt I had the wrong project ID in my app.yaml, but I have since corrected it, and I'm still getting the same error.

Are you running behind your company's proxy that terminates your
client's SSL session at their proxy? That's my most likely guess
given the information.

Can you visit https://appengine.google.com in your browser? What does
the certificate look like?

I'm at home.  No proxy.  The appengine.google.com certificate is fine when I visit the site via browser.
> email to google-appengine-go+unsub...@googlegroups.com.

I used the same machine, from the same location, to push a different Go App Engine application a few months back ... it worked fine.  That was with an older version of the App Engine SDK though.

I tried using the older SDK to push the new application yesterday and got the same error.  That is why I updated the SDK to the latest version today and tried again.  Same result.

I figured out the issue.

I had an install of Anaconda's Python package on the machine.  Although Anaconda uses a 2.7 version of Python, there must have been some incompatibility in its SSL modules.  I changed my path so that Anaconda's python was no longer used by the goapp scripts and everything worked fine.
