Yeah that is the case. Once I change the f = opener.open('website') line to a
link that has a https I get that socket error. Nothing else changes. I was
reading online and came across this site which shows you how if the version of
python installed supports ssl.

When I followed the instructions I got that it wasn't supported, although the
ssl.py is in the lib directory. Python was installed from the official python
page using the windows installer. Is somehow ssl disabled by default? Do I need
to get a third party ssl module?
