The easiests workaround is to add an option for py2app to your setup.py file:

setup(

       }
   }

This includes the entire package into the application bundle, including the certificate bundle.

I've filed an issue for this in my py2app tracker, a future version of py2app will include logic to detect the use of the request library and will copy the certificate bundle automaticly.
