Error when trying repo init on external drive on Ubuntu

I'm trying to init repo of Android ROM, but it returns following error on Ubuntu 16.04:
$ repo init -u git://github.com/AOSiP/platform_manifest.git -b pie
Get git://github.com/AOSiP/platform_manifest.git

It works when running on system drive, but I don't have enough space there.

Drive had exFAT filesystem, error gone on ext4.

It seems to me that some problem with the dependencies of python, someone knows exactly what it is, and better how to correct?

Removing all certs in /usr/share/ca-certificates and then reinstalling worked for me.
Try this:
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/ca-certificates
sudo apt-get --reinstall install ca-certificates

PRAW induced SSL error when compiling Python script using py2exe

Python 2.7.11
Requests 2.9.1
Praw 3.4.0
I have a python script that uses PRAW (reddit API wrapper), I'm attempting to compile it into an .exe using py2exe.
Here is the current error that occurs when the .exe is run:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Searching for other SSL issues on here and other places discussed adding cacert.pem. I tried this without resolution.

Python Cmd/Powershell error "Traceback (Most recent call last)"

I was giving a look at the "Learn Python The Hard Way" tutorial and when it told me to try it out by typing Python in Powershell after I installed it just kept giving me this:

I also tried running through the command prompt and got the same error. I've installed and uninstalled python about 3 times and have done a few reboots to no avail. I am very new to python and I'm confused on what to do here. I would also appreciate any links to other python tutorials.

In this case, from my understanding, you have no modules called "MAXREPEAT" or you(or the installer) have installed it somewhere wrong. A reinstallation or redirecting the path should get it to work.
