I've just finished testing a Python programme which involves logging into a site and requires a CSRF cookie to be set. I've tried packaging it as an exe using py2exe and got a socket error. I have the same problem when I try with PyInstaller. Googling the Errno I found a few other people with the same problem and so I know the problem is to do with the location of SLL certificates.

This is my site_agent class including the logging calls.

    class site_agent:
        self.get_params()
        URL = root_url + '/accounts/login/'        
        # Retrieve the CSRF token first
        self.agent = requests.session()
        self.agent.get(URL)  # retrieves the cookie # This line throws the error
        self.csrftoken = self.agent.cookies['csrftoken']    
        # Set up login data including the CSRF cookie
        login_data = {'username': self.username,
                      'password': self.password,
                      'csrfmiddlewaretoken' : self.csrftoken}
        # Log in
        logging.info('Logging in')
        response = self.agent.post(URL, data=login_data, headers=hdr)

The error comes at the self.agent.get(URL) line and the Traceback shows:
