SSL certificate verify failed error when running libyear behind a corporate proxy

[edjeffery]

I am trying to use libyear behind a corporate proxy and I am getting an "SSL certificate verify failed" error because it is trying to access pypi, which I cannot access directly. Is there a way of providing my own package remote URL instead of pypi? If not, should I create a PR so a user can provide one? Thanks.

requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='pypi.org', port=443): 
Max retries exceeded with url: /pypi/maq/json (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:645)'),))
