CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED trying to run get-poetry.py on Mac OS X 10.13.6

[cjw296]

• I am on the latest Poetry version.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

• OS version and name: Mac OS X 10.13.6
• Poetry version: get-poetry.py as of today

Issue

I have a feeling this is due to a mac ssl issue, but I can't think what to upgrade and fix:

$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdispater/poetry/master/get-poetry.py > ~/Downloads/get-poetry.py
$ python3.7 --version
Python 3.7.0
$ python3.7 ~/Downloads/get-poetry.py

what worked for me:
MacOS - go to Applications > Python folder > double click on "Install Certificates.command" file

I'm seeing this bug on Windows 10 on the newest poetry?
