SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED while trying to connect to a websocket in python3.7

Here is what I am trying to run

        ws = websocket.WebSocketApp('wss://open.rocket.chat/sockjs/websocket',
                                header=["User-Agent: MyProgram", "x-custom: header"],
                                on_open=on_open,
                                on_message=on_message,
                                on_error=on_error,
                                on_close=on_close,
                                on_ping=on_ping
                                )
        ws.run_forever()

When I run the code I get this error from the on_error function:

[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1091)

I am running the code on macOS, python3.7

the requirements include:

websocket==0.2.1
websocket-client==0.58.0

The solution I tried before was adding the headers above, it worked in a Windows and linux environment, but not in a macOS.

Another thing I tried is to turn off the ssl verification like so export PYTHONHTTPSVERIFY=0 , this did not work as well.

Can you please explain the reason behind this error, and why is it inconsistent? Sometimes it works sometimes it does not! I want to understand the reason to be able to solve it for good. Any suggestions?

I found the answer for MacOS.

All you need to do is to navigate to Applications/Python 3.x

and run this file Install Certificates.command
