Can't download images for logpuzzle

[Barry Hellman]

I can't seem to get urllib.urlretrieve to download the files for the logpuzzle exercise.

I am getting this error:

IOError: [Errno socket error] [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:590)

Here is the URL i am trying to access:
http://code.google.com/edu/languages/google-python-class/images/puzzle/a-baaa.jpg

It get's re-directed to:
https://developers.google.com/edu/python/images/puzzle/a-baaa.jpg?csw=1

I tried just using the re-directed URL and get the same error.

I tried the Solution script and got the same error.

nevermind, i figured it out:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27835619/ssl-certificate-verify-failed-error

need to import ssl
then do this: context = ssl._create_unverified_context()
and then urllib.urlretrieve(___,___,context=context)
