Error Using girder-client

Hello,
I ran pip install girder-client on my machine and tried to authenticate with my girder server with the following python script but I get an error about wrong version number. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
Girder API version: [ base url: /api/v1 , api version: 3.0.4.dev4+gda5c16e5e.d20191103 ]

Python script:

import girder_client
gc = girder_client.GirderClient(apiUrl=apiUrl)
gc.authenticate(username, password)

Error Message:

By chance are you trying to speak HTTPS to a server that is not using TLS?

I have no idea. How do I go about checking this?
