      Related to PYTHON-2798 and PYTHON-2808, we should document how to workaround AutoReconnect: SSL handshake failed: oauth2.googleapis.com:443: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:852) type errors on Windows. One workaround is to install certifi and use tlsCAFile:

      client = MongoClient(tlsCAFile=certifi.where())

      Another workaround is to rely on Windows built in certification loader by manually connecting to the host before running the python app, like this:

      $ powershell.exe "Invoke-WebRequest -URI https://oauth2.googleapis.com/" > /dev/null || true
$ python my_app.py ....
