_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (2026, 'SSL connection error: SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh failed')
is thrown at me when I try to run my script which connects to my SQL server. 
I installed MySQLdb via conda. I've read that this may be an openssl issue, but I'm having trouble downgrading that as well.
I was able to fix this my using mysql.connector instead of importing MySQLdb in my python scripts
Python MySQLdb cannot connect to server, SSL Issue
