so we’re getting an ssl error

Hi, If you are using GoodData.CN CE locally, then you should be able to run PythonSDK without https. The following code snippet should work.

sdk = GoodDataSdk.create(host_="<http://localhost:3000>", token_="YWRtaW46Ym9vdHN0cmFwOmFkbWluMTIz")

Could you please share a code snippet and an error message if it will not work?

Actually, you can use ONLY http (without "s") with GoodData.CN Community edition.
