Discord.py: I get an SSL Error when running my bot

[keeganjk]

I get this error when running my bot:
aiohttp.errors.ClientOSError: [Errno 1] Cannot connect to host discordapp.com:443 ssl:True [Can not connect to discordapp.com:443 [[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:777)]] Unclosed client session client_session: <aiohttp.client.ClientSession object at 0x1055167f0>

Here's the code for the bot:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import discord, asyncio

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
        print("Logged in as:")
        print("client.user.name")
        print("client.user.id")
        print("_" * 80)

@client.event
async def on_message():
        await client.say("hi")

client.run('token')

Why do I get this error and how can I fix it?

Navigate to your Applications/Python 3.6/ folder and double click the Install Certificates.command to fix this
