SSLContext was introduced in 2.7.9, you're using an old version of Python so it doesn't have this attribute.

Thanks for the answer ! Is there any workaround for python 2.7.6 ?

Nope, install the latest version.

I actually tried in python 2.7.10 and still got the AtributeError. Updating to 2.7.11 solved it, I'm still not sure why, but this might help someone else.

You can use code below for Python 2.7.9:

ctx = ssl.create_default_context()
ctx.check_hostname = False
ctx.verify_mode=ssl.CERT_NONE

Plz remove ";" and press enter key. Sorry had to add ";" at the end of line because SO was generating error that code can only be posted by selecting code block and inserting 4 spaces. But on mobile there isn't any option available or displaying code block.

2.7.6 does not have create_default_context
