How can I fix the SSL EOF error by correcting my OpenAI API base URL configuration in Python?

I'm using OpenAI's Python library to make a ChatCompletion call and encountered an SSL error. I downgraded my urllib3 to 1.25.11, but the error persists. My current code is below:

PYTHONCopied
# coding=gbk

import openai

openai.api_key = "■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■sJqxxxx"
openai.api_base = "https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions"
openai.proxy = "http://127.0.0.1:7890"
i = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
  model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
  messages=[
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who won the world series in 2020?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series in 2020."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Where was it played?"}
  ]
)
print(i)

The error message says:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

raise error.APIConnectionError(

openai.error.APIConnectionError: Error communicating with OpenAI: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.openai.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /v1/chat/completions/chat/completions (Caused by SSLError(SSLEOFError(8, 'EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:1129)')))

Any ideas on how to resolve this SSL problem? The accepted fix seems to be setting the API base URL to "https://api.openai.com/v1" instead of appending the endpoint path, so it doesn't duplicate it. Has anyone else faced this issue?
