Thanks, dieter, for your reply. I have now re-installed both certificate 
packages and (open)ssl related python packages - and now it works!

I still wonder why openSuSE certificates are not working out-of-box with 
python. Maybe some of the packages were not correctly installed...

Anyway, thanks for your quick reply - the issue is now solved :)

Best,
