Pytorch报urllib.error.URLError: ＜urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED]错误

问题描述

在调用torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10下载数据集的过程中，

trainset = torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(root='./data', train=True,
 download=True, transform=transform)

报如下错误：

Traceback (most recent call last):

    trainset = torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(root='./data', train=True,

urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: certificate has expired (_ssl.c:1123)>

原因分析：

通过调试定位到torch.utils.data.utils.py源文件_get_redirect_url函数中调用urllib.request.urlopen时出的问题。

经过网上资料分析：这个错误是因为Python 2.7.9 之后引入了一个新特性，当使用urllib.urlopen一个 https 的时候会验证一次 SSL证书。当目标使用的是自签名的证书时就会报urllib.error.URLError错误。

解决方案：

import ssl

ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
trainset = torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(root='./data', train=True,
 download=True, transform=transform)

最后下载成功
