…erify_mode=ssl.CERT_NONE. Unsafe but allows users behind corporate firewalls to ignore cert errors due to MITM/firewall issues.
Removed else: from urlopen to be more pythonic.

Adding option "--ignore_ssl_certs" to set ssl.SSLContext.verify_mode=ssl.CERT_NONE
This is "UNSAFE" but allows users behind corporate firewalls to bypass SSL Certificate errors from urllib.urlopen due to MITM situations.
I've written and tested these changes behind a corporate firewall on WSL (Windows Subsystems for Linux) Ubuntu 18.04 using Python 3.6 in a virtual environment.
