requests.exceptions.SSLError > add option to call requests with param verify=False

[ignalex]

hi guys,
it is not s big issue, but if you are behind a corp firewall (I am) when trying to call tts.save, there is error with regards to SSL:

tts.save("hello.mp3")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "C:\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\gtts\tts.py", line 94, in save
self.write_to_fp(f)
File "C:\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\gtts\tts.py", line 114, in write_to_fp
r = requests.get(self.GOOGLE_TTS_URL, params=payload, headers=headers)
File "C:\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\requests\api.py", line 55, in get
return request('get', url, *_kwargs)
File "C:\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\requests\api.py", line 44, in request
return session.request(method=method, url=url, *_kwargs)
File "C:\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\requests\sessions.py", line 456, in request
resp = self.send(prep, *_send_kwargs)
File "C:\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\requests\sessions.py", line 559, in send
r = adapter.send(request, *_kwargs)
File "C:\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\requests\adapters.py", line 382, in send
raise SSLError(e, request=request)
requests.exceptions.SSLError

it is fixed by modifying line 114 from
r = requests.get(self.GOOGLE_TTS_URL, params=payload, headers=headers)
to
r = requests.get(self.GOOGLE_TTS_URL, params=payload, headers=headers,verify=False)

could be helpful to maybe having it as an option configurable when building tts object.

Cheers
Alex

Similar issue here. I get requests.exceptions.SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)

Me too!

I can suppress the error when i add the option verify=False to the requests command in the gtts_token package on line 58.

However, i am also searching for a better solution ...

Hello,
I installed gtts using "pip install gTTS" and I get the ssl error when trying the commandline utility:
gtts-cli.py "Hello" -l 'en' -o hello.mp3
[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:600)

I tried to reinstall requests and certifi but no change.
How should I try the above approach ?

r = requests.get(self.GOOGLE_TTS_URL, params=payload, headers=headers)
change to
r = requests.get(self.GOOGLE_TTS_URL, params=payload, headers=headers,verify=False)

After changing .../gTTS-master/gtts/tts.py line 114 I assume I have to rbuild the utility (?)
Simply using "pip install gTTS" again, seems to download a fresh source and my changes are ignored.
I'm not experienced with Python stuff at all, I just need to use the tool to make some text available for vison impaired. Any help highly welcome, thx.

Tried to change line 114 in /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/gtts/tts.py
but the error remains.

Work around:

in
/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/requests/sessions.py

change line 572 from:

        # Send the request
        r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs)

to read

        # Send the request
        kwargs['verify'] = False
        r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs)

[wallygit]

works now, thank you very much !

Hi! gTTS 1.2.0 was released, fixing this. SSL verify is now always false, since we can live w/o it in our case.

After making changes use these lines of code in the file where u are using tts.save() to avoid warnings.

import urllib3

urllib3.disable_warnings()
