Discord.py ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED]

TLDR: I've been trying to use discord.py on my mac for a while, but everything I've tried doesnt work. All the other solutions dont work!

Please help. I've been trying to get Discord.py to work for months now, and I can't get it to work. Here's my code [I'll reset my token, obviously]:

import discord


class MyClient(discord.Client):
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Logged on as', self.user)

    async def on_message(self, message):
        # don't respond to ourselves
        if message.author == self.user:
            return

        if message.content == 'ping':
            await message.channel.send('pong')


client = MyClient()


client.run("NzQxNzUzMTQ0MDA2MTQ4MTU2.Xy8Jcg.wBNInfNrj--ZtinuzQ-b4I7H1jo")

Which results in the folowing error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/meow/programming/PycharmProjects/BulmeniBot/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/aiohttp/connector.py", line 936, in _wrap_create_connection

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Process finished with exit code 1

I'm on mac, using python 3.8 with Pycharm.

What I have tried:

After some Googling, I got to this thread, which in turn led me here. Double clicking on Install Certificates.command gives me this error:

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/python3.8', '-E', '-s', '-m', 'pip', 'install', '--upgrade', 'certifi']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

After some more googling, that lead me to this thread, which doesnt tell me anything since I'm just using my terminal. :(

I've tried pip install --upgrade certifi too, but the errors still remains. So what do I do?

For Windows

This solution is the one that solved my problem on Windows

import certifi
import os
from discord.ext import commands
os.environ["SSL_CERT_FILE"] = certifi.where()

Just add this to the code and it will work

Try both of these (Windows):

Method #1:
Download and install this certificate here: https://crt.sh/?id=2835394
It can be installed by double clicking the file and installing it to Local Computer. Image taken from a discord server If you are curious what caused this: https://support.sectigo.com/Com_KnowledgeDetailPage?Id=kA03l00000117LT
Info taken from a discord server

Method #2:

Navigate to your Applications/Python 3.X/ folder and double click the Install Certificates.command to fix this.

On a mac, go to Macintosh HD > Applications > Python3.x folder (x being your python3 version) > double click on "Install Certificates.command" file
