Twython oauth1 authentication SSL3 error

Question

I am trying to rebuild the example for the streaming API, using the following code

from twython import Twython
from twython import TwythonStreamer

APP_SECRET = 'XXXXX'
APP_KEY = 'XXXXX'

# from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17091822/ssl-error-in-twython-get
client_args = {
    'verify': False
}

twitter = Twython(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET,client_args=client_args)
auth = twitter.get_authentication_tokens()
OAUTH_TOKEN = auth['oauth_token']
OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET = auth['oauth_token_secret']

print 'OAUTH_TOKEN = \''+auth['oauth_token']+'\''
print 'OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET =\''+auth['oauth_token_secret']+'\''
print auth['auth_url']

I already followed the client_args hint found at: SSL Error in Twython GET

However it fails on me with the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

What am I doing wrong? And secondly - is there a way to get the PIN programmatically? other than clicking the URL and copy pasting it in my code further down?
