Hi,  
I’m starting to use Ansible on my OS X (10.11.1), on the dev source.  
I’m trying to use the newly (2.0) introduced vsphere modules to create a datacenter and i’m getting this:  
[SSL: CERTIFICATE\_VERIFY\_FAILED] certificate verify failed

I’ve upgraded to the 1.02d openssl.  
Google didn’t help…  
what’s the proper way to solve this?  
thanks,  
tiran

even with the vSphere\_guest module I have to cope with this as I have a python 2.10 installed in my F22 (an ansible control node talking to vCenter)
