Comment (by jmroot):

 There may be some environment variables or other configuration that affect
 where the ssl module will load CA certificates from. You can check if it's
 finding any certs with something like this:
 {{{
 import ssl
 s = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23)
 s.load_default_certs()
 s.cert_store_stats()
 }}}
 For me, the cert_store_stats() call returns:
 {{{
 {'x509': 133, 'x509_ca': 133, 'crl': 0}
 }}}
