problems you probably met:

you're under a network environment which will interrupt SSL connection, few firewall will cause that. Switch to different network environment and try again (Maybe your mobile network?)
your Python installation is not complete, SSL module may not work, try use aptitude install a different copy of Python 2, and try again (remember to specify Python interpreter to the newly installed one)

The information is too few, I will try to do some exp to reproduce your situation.

Hope it helps.

Updated

I saw some TLS issues happened on Ubuntu 14.04 which will interrupt SSL connections, that might be the problem, is Ubuntu 14.04 your only solution?

If then, you might need these info to fix the problem:

SSL handshake is not working when compiled in Ubuntu 14
