Unable to run docker-compose up due to unhandled python exception

[EvHaus]

I've tried this in docker-compose v1.3.3 and 1.4.0-rc2 and I get this error every time I run docker-compose up:

I get the same stack trace. I am using docker compose on the Mac OS X, with the following versions:
docker-compose version: 1.3.3
CPython version: 2.7.10
OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.0.2d 9 Jul 2015

This issue was fixed for me when I upgraded boot2docker with boot2docker upgrade

This is a failure from the requests package. I believe this would have been fixed when we upgraded requests, which we've done a couple times since this issue was created.

I'm going to close this issue, but please do re-open if you see it again with the latest compose.

@dnephin I am getting this error while testing on a single AWS EC2 instance. Any ideas why this would be happening?
