I've seen in the file "youtube_dl/extractor/safari.py" that _LOGIN_URL = 'https://www.safaribooksonline.com/accounts/login/'

I've tried to login through "https://www.safaribooksonline.com/accounts/login/" with my credentials and my user/pass works fine as well as the access through "https://ssl.safaribooksonline.com/securelogin"

On inspecting my system, I noticed that Python was using OpenSSL 0.9.8zh which was installed. Homebrew's OpenSSL version was at 1.0.2l. [EDIT: This is isn't the newest rev, but worked for me as it was, so if you want to move to latest stable to try something similar go ahead!]

I updated Python to use 1.0.2l, and cleaned up links in Homebrew. Did the bones of this suggestion from first answer in this SO query https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18752409/updating-openssl-in-python-2-7

Worked for me! Let me know if works for any of you.

I got a similar error, although probably not the same, since I didn't get the traceback.
Sharing here in case it helps somebody. I tried using the youtube-dl.conf with user and pass built in it, but got login error.
I then removed the password, so that youtube-dl asked for me to type it when ran.
I typed and it worked (probably some reserved character).
