Tried to use Python3 in the FBOS environment to make an outbound https client request and received the result below.
Any clues on how to fix, … , help, suggestions or comments welcome 
I’ve not used Python before but in most HTTP library or CLI tools you’ll be able to disable checking TLS certificates.
Try verify=false as part of the request options.
Thanks @mdingena . . but no thanks
I think I’ll follow up these recommendations ( now that I’ve had time to browse around some . . )

Got it working by adding the certifi Python package and then modifying the urlopen call to use an SSL context : ssl.create_default_context() which points at the CA file provided by certifi. All very temporary as I had to place the new Python packages onto the /tmp filesystem
