perry on PYTHON ERROR AFTER SEVERAL SUCCESSFUL WRITES TO THINGSPEAK CHANNEL

After several successful writes to my thingspeak channel, an error will occur

log = log + 'Failed to reach server. Reason: ' + e.reason

Typeerror: cannot concatenate 'str' and SSLError'objects

I am using raspberry pi's and an odroid w. I receive the error when sending data individually to a channel and when sending to one channel from each pi and the ordroid w. I don't know how to resolve this error or the cause.

I have 1 raspberry pi that has been sending weather data and cpu temperature to a channel with no errors. When I used another python program to send CPU temperature separately to another channel the error occurs after several successful attempts.
