SSL error

I seem to have installed this successfully, but I can't actually get any data from MFP. The credentials below are correct for a dummy account I set up:

import myfitnesspal
client = myfitnesspal.Client('dummyaccount123', 'password')
Traceback (most recent call last):

Note: I'm no longer trying to use this library -- I'm now just scraping data off of my public MFP website.

Ahh, well, keep in mind that scraping is exactly what this library is doing, too, since the API MyFitnessPal provides is closed.

So, re: your SSL connection error -- that looks like your version of Python was compiled against an outdated version of OpenSSL. Unfortunately that kind of thing is totally out of my hands -- all this library does is tell Python to connect to a specific host using HTTPS; whether or not that connection is possible is unfortunately up to whether or not the underlying library (OpenSSL) can pull it off.

You can find a little discussion about the underlying problem on this pip bug; although they're working through the issue on a different library, the bug and root cause are the same. I'm afraid I'm not sure where to begin in instructing you on how to re-build Python against a more modern version of OpenSSL, but let me know if you have any other questions.

Cheers!

Okay, this is helpful -- thanks for the reply!
