python elasticsearch elasticsearch.exceptions.SSLError: ConnectionError([SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER] wrong version number (_ssl.c:1056))

I'm trying to connect to an elasticsearch server using the elasticsearch package, but getting this error

elasticsearch.exceptions.SSLError: ConnectionError([SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER] wrong version number (_ssl.c:1056)) caused by: SSLError([SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER] wrong version number (_ssl.c:1056))

Any ideas what could be fixing the problem ?
