How can I get Python Requests to trust a self-signed SSL certificate?

Consider: import requests data = {'foo':'bar'} url = 'https://example.com/bar' r = requests.post(url, data=data) If the URL uses a self-signed certificate, this fails with: requests.exceptions.SSLError: [Errno 1] _ssl.c:507: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed I know that I can pass False to the verify parameter, like this: r = requests.post(url, data=data, verify=False) However, I would like to point Requests to a copy of the public key on disk and tell it to trust that certificate.
Try: r = requests.post(url, data=data, verify='/path/to/public_key.pem')
