[Python] AzureException: HTTPSConnectionPool : Max retries exceeded with url

I am trying to upload a csv/pdf files to azure blob storage using python locally.

I followed this post, but this throws an error,

from azure.storage.blob import BlockBlobService
from azure.storage.blob import ContentSettings

block_blob_service = BlockBlobService(account_name='account_name', account_key='key1')
block_blob_service.create_container('cn1')
block_blob_service.set_container_acl('cn1', public_access=PublicAccess.Container)

#Upload the CSV file to Azure cloud
block_blob_service.create_blob_from_path(
'mycontainer',
'C:/uploads/blob.csv',
'C:/uploads/blob.pdf',
content_settings=ContentSettings(content_type='application/CSV')
)


After uploading i want to use the uploaded file to process.

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in block_blob_service.create_container('cn1')
