Python3 MySQL SSL Error - mysql.connector

I have spent all day on this and cant figure it out. I have no problems connecting to the remote server using python and the mysql.connector but when i try using SSL I get the following error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/mysql/connector/network.py", line 384, in switch_to_ssl
         self.sock.do_handshake()
      File "/usr/lib/python3.4/ssl.py", line 804, in do_handshake
         self._sslobj.do_handshake()
    ssl.SSLError: [SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER] wrong version number (_ssl.c:600)

    During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "./mysql_test.py", line 25, in <module>
         con = mysql.connector.connect(**config);

• system spec both servers:
• Debian 8.2
• OpenSSL 1.0.1k 8 Jan 2015
• mysql 5.7.X.
• python3
• pip3
• mysql.connector = Connector/Python 2.1.3

I know the ssl connection works with php and cli mysql connections but i can't figure out how to get ssl to work properly. I have also tried to change the ssl protocol in the mysql.connector network.py source. I have also tried with and without use_pure flag. Any help is greatly appreciated.

the python source:

    import mysql.connector
     config = {
        'user' : 'uname', 
        'password' :'passwd', 
        'host' : '192.168.1.10',
        'database' : 'python',
        'ssl_ca' : '/etc/mysql/ssl/client/ca-cert.pem',
        'ssl_cert' : '/etc/mysql/ssl/client/client-cert.pem',
        'ssl_key' : '/etc/mysql/ssl/client/client-key.pem',
        'use_pure' : 'False'
    }
    con = mysql.connector.connect(**config);
    con.close();
