python: APNs SSLError

Question

I am trying to send push notifications to iPhone via python as described here but I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File         


        

Answer 1

I ran into the same error message using PyAPNs. The example says to initiate it like this:

apns = APNs(use_sandbox=True, cert_file='cert.pem', key_file='key.pem')

Turns out the solution to my problem was to include the full system path for each .pem file:

cert_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'cert.pem')
key_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'key.pem')
apns = APNs(use_sandbox=True, cert_file=cert_path, key_file=key_path)
