Ubuntu server and python scrtipt

Good day to all. I am facing a VDS server problem on Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-167-generic x86_64).
import requests
url = 'https://api.csgo3.run/current-state?montaznayaPena=null'
gameId = 3512446
response = requests.get(url)
print(response)
url = 'https://api.csgorun.ru/games/' + str(gameId)
response = requests.get(url)
print(response)
This is a piece of code from a website parser written in Python 3.11.1 (but it works on 3.6+ versions, I checked). The code was written on Windows 10 2H22. The problem is that on Windows and VirtualBox (ParrotOS) everything works and outputs:
<Response [200]> <Response [200]>
, but on VDS server there is an error on the second request:

I've tried changing the server OS to Debian and later, installing the oldest and newest versions of python. Tested on other machines.
is this about and how can the problem be solved?

Problem running Selenium 4 code in PyCharm

I am trying to run a very simple selenium python code in PyCharm, but it throws out the following error every time when I call driver = webdriver.Firefox(driver_path).

Here's my full code:
#!/usr/bin/python3
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
driver_path = "/home/kimilao/Downloads/geckodriver-v0.31.0-linux64"
driver = webdriver.Firefox(driver_path)
driver.get("https://www.python.org/")
print(driver.title)
driver.quit()
The problem is that I can run this code without the errors when using Sublime Text, vscode and terminal, but not PyCharm, and I wonder why this happens to me. Thanks!
Python: 3.10.4
Selenium: 4.3.0
Firefox: 102.0 (64-bit)
Gecko Driver: geckodriver-v0.31.0-linux64

I'm pretty sure this happens because PyCharm automatically creates and enters a virtual environment, where you probably didn't run a pip install. To make sure, try launching these commands from vscode:
source venv/bin/activate
python your_script.py
deactivate # after executing your script, to exit the venv
If you do get the same error, then you didn't set up a venv properly

i use Pycharm (albeit on windows) and my import statements and driver object are completely different. Maybe you can give it a try and see if it works for you?
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.firefox import GeckoDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Firefox(service=Service(GeckoDriverManager().install()))
Note: this is under the assumption that the driver as been downloaded and installed (also, confirm your internet connection. I experienced something similar using chrome, but my problem was the internet connection)

Python: requests_html html method does not work

This is probably (hopefully) a simple beginner's mistake, yet I cannot find any explanation for what I'm doing wrong.
I want to scrape some content for a yt-video with bs4 and requests_html. both of these libraries are installed. however, when I try to run the code, it does not work. PyCharm tells me that the method 'html' as in r.html.render(sleep=1) and soup = bs(r.html.html, "html.parser") is the problem. could anyone please have a quick look into it and tell me what I might be doing wrong?
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
from requests_html import HTMLSession
video_id = "v8Yh_4oE-Fs"
video_root = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v="
video_url = "".join((video_root, video_id))
session = HTMLSession()
r = session.get(video_url)
r.html.render(sleep=1)
soup = bs(r.html.html, "html.parser")
etc
edit: This is the full error message.

PyTube, URLlib, Http packages giving error while trying to download youtube video

I am trying to download youtube video using PyTube package but I am unable to do so.
I am using Python 3.5 and pytube 9.2.2.
Urllib doesn't give me an error in other programs but it is giving me errors here.
The code I am using is:
#importing the module
from pytube import YouTube
#where to save
SAVE_PATH = "E:/" #to_do
#link of the video to be downloaded
link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWOoBJUqlbI"
yt = YouTube(link)
#filters out all the files with "mp4" extension
mp4files = yt.filter('mp4')
yt.set_filename('GeeksforGeeks Video') #to set the name of the file
#get the video with the extension and resolution passed in the get() function
d_video = yt.get(mp4files[-1].extension,mp4files[-1].resolution)
try:
#downloading the video
d_video.download(SAVE_PATH)
except:
print("Some Error!")
print('Task Completed!')
The errors that I am getting are:

Strange SSL error when seeding database via command line

I have a file (it's called conversation_template.py) which I use to seed my DynamoDB database, and it worked until very recently.

botocore.vendored.requests.exceptions.SSLError: [SSL: UNKNOWN_PROTOCOL] unknown protocol (_ssl.c:748)
I tried to figure out where the error comes from but I couldn’t do it. Even the error messages didn’t get me anywhere.
I get an SSLError; the protocol is unknown. I found that this type of error could be related to me trying to connect to proxy servers but I am not using one and haven’t done so in the past either.
Any ideas on where this error could come from?

What's worked in the end is to exit my current virtual environment and run:
/Applications/Python\ 3.6/Install\ Certificates.command
And then I entered my virtual environment again and ran:
pip install certifi
That fixed it.
I got help from a friend who suspected it could have to do with the certification verification (related to this: urllib and "SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED" Error ) but it remains unclear why I didn't get a "Certificate Verification Failed" error.
