I was trying to execute the sample code from Google tensorflow quick start for beginner on my Mac and I run into the ssl.SSLCertVerificationError.
My Pycharm was setup to run all code in venv with Python 3.8 and the necessary tensorflow library setup.
Error Message:
ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1108)
My Mac setup:
Python 2.7.16 Mac System version
Python 3.8.3 downloaded from python.org and installed onto my Mac with pip version 19.2.3.

pip3 install –upgrade pip
