Is there a way to remove SSL? How do you fix?

This error is coming from boto. I don't think you need to remove SSL, I would double check that your aws s3 credentials are setup and configured correctly.

Just of note, there is this method posted to disable boto ssl:

But it looks like it currently doesn't work due to a bug in boto.

You can try this though:

There is a note at the bottom of this thread about python3.6 and ssl on macOS I would take a look at. I've been using the python3.6, and ssl, with the python from homebrew without issue.
