Hello :)

I'm trying to run locally lamma3 on ubuntu 20.04.
I installed everything and it all seem to be working.
Running ollama run llama3:8b let me chat with him. And running ollama serve seems to work.

I tried coppying this code:

import ollama
response = ollama.chat(model='llama3', messages=[
  {
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Why is the sky blue?',
  },
])
print(response['message']['content'])

But I get an error:
httpx.ConnectError: [SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER] wrong version number (_ssl.c:1131)

If you need any more information let me know.
Thank you :)

Hey!

Here are some things which might help:

Try updating httpx and ollama libraries:
pip install --upgrade httpx ollama
Check python version (V3.6 or higher is recommended)
Verify Server Configuration; confirm that the server is running 'ollama serve' and its configured correctly and it's using compatible SSL/TLS version
Test connectivity; try connecting to the server using different tool, such as 'curl', to ensure that the server is working:
curl -v https://your-server-url

I hope it helps. Good luck with your project ;]
