Google Admin SDK client library generates SSL3_GET_RECRD:wrong version number error when attempting to get a user

Question

I am trying to use Google Admin SDK API and python client libraries to manage my Google Apps users. I am trying to get a certain user, bssl.SSLError: [Errno 1] _ssl.c:1429:

error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number

My code is (mostly) as follows:

import httplib2
from apiclient import errors
from apiclient.discovery import build

client_email = '[email protected]'
with open("service_account_certificate.p12") as f:
  private_key = f.read()
OAUTH_SCOPE = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user'
credentials = SignedJwtAssertionCredentials(client_email, private_key, OAUTH_SCOPE, sub="[email protected]" )
http = httplib2.Http()
http = credentials.authorize(http)

directory_service = build('admin', 'directory_v1', http=http)

user = directory_service.users().get(userKey="[email protected]").execute()

That last line seems to be the one causing the issue. Any hints?

SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number

The server no longer supports SSLv3. You need to upgrade your pip modules and/or Python.
