iitd-pyproxylogin's Issues

error: SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED

Let's take a moment to appreciate your work towards IITD community.

Environment:

rahul@Inspiron:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu

I'm getting SSL error while running the login.py script. Found a work around by adding this in script.
source

import ssl
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context

Now script is working fine (tested several times) and I'am sure there's nicer and safer way of getting rid of this error.

Also around line 81, I have change this
htmlsoup=soup(html)
to this
htmlsoup=soup(html, "lxml")
to get rid of this

The code that caused this warning is on line 84 of the file login.py. To get rid of this warning, change code that looks like this:

 BeautifulSoup([your markup])

to this:

 BeautifulSoup([your markup], "lxml")

  markup_type=markup_type))
