Python – Google App Engine – ConnectionError : (‘Connection aborted.’ , Error (13, ‘Permission denied’ ))

I’m dealing with a connection error and need help. I use Python 2.7 and Google App Engine for this project. I’m trying to use nba_py a third-party API for retrieving additional information to display on my site, but I’m getting ConnectionError.
The error looks like this:

First connection error:

requests/adapters.py", line 490, in send
    raise ConnectionError(err, request=request)
ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', HTTPException('Deadline exceeded 
while waiting for HTTP response from URL: http://stats.nba.com/stats/scoreboard?LeagueID=00&GameDate=03%2F03%2F2018&DayOffset=0',))

I’m not sure if I’ve fixed the problem correctly, but I’ll >__init__.py file Change HTTP in BASE_URL to HTTPS

So after that, it gave me SSLError:

requests/adapters.py", line 506, in send
        raise SSLError(e, request=request)
    SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='stats.nba.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /stats/scoreboard? DayOffset=0&GameDate=03%2F03%2F2018&LeagueID=00 (Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.",))

Again, I’m

not sure if I’ve fixed it correctly, but I’m adding name:ssl and version:latest to the from app.yaml file using Python SSL

After that, it gave me another connection error that I’ve been holding out for a while.

requests/adapters.py", line 490, in send
    raise ConnectionError(err, request=request)
ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', error(13, 'Permission denied'))

We would appreciate any help or link that would help me with this. Thanks!

With requests toolbelt, requests are now available in production and development:

from requests_toolbelt.adapters import appengine
appengine.monkeypatch()
