Sorry, but I can't reproduce: running your code on my machine produces no problem whatsoever. Can you provide the output of pip freeze and python --version?

os: archlinux
python: 3.6.1
gevent: 1.2.1
requests: 2.14.2

Based on the fix you provided in #1177, it seems that gevent is monkeypatching the SSLContext object. It is vitally important when you use gevent that you apply the monkeypatch before you import any other code. Code frequently will use from imports to bring objects into their own namespaces, and monkeypatching after doing that will cause code to break.

Rather than force every library in the world to bend to gevent's will, just re-order your code:

import gevent.monkey
gevent.monkey.patch_all()

from requests.packages.urllib3.util.ssl_ import create_urllib3_context
create_urllib3_context()

This will resolve your issues nicely.

sure it is.
