ImportError: cannot import name 'certs'

I'm having this error for the last 2 days. It seems a problem with python requests library, but I've re-installed it several times with no luck.

```

    ImportError: cannot import name 'certs'
```

Maybe it's a problem with Windows 7 update from 2 days ago, because is the only thing that has changed in the last few days.

By the way, I'm using python 3.4 with virtualenv, PyCharm 3.4.1 IDE and Win7.

Inside **certs.py** there is the code that has the problem (last line):

```
try:
    from certifi import where
except ImportError:
    def where():
        """Return the preferred certificate bundle."""
        # vendored bundle inside Requests
        return os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'cacert.pem')
```

Any ideas?


As discussed on your [StackOverflow question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26928672/importerror-cannot-import-name-certs?noredirect=1#comment42433284_26928672), we concluded this is not a bug. Thanks @davyria 


It happens to me exactly the same after installing the latest Windows update. It is the only library of all installed which fails. Could it be using a native operating system resource? In OSX, GNU/Linux and Windows (without upgrading) works perfectly, so I think it's a issue of the lib in the new environment.


@blazaid it sounds more like an issue with the environment to me. Without a Windows VM to test with I can't provide much help. Your best bet is to describe the series of events that led to your broken installation and posting to StackOverflow with more detail than @davyria
