[Python] Python "cannot import 'ssl' from 'urllib3.util.ssl_'" error

I'm trying to set up a Python script to run through a batch file for Windows Task Scheduler and I'm running into an error when running the file.

The code works in both my Jupyter Notebook and PyCharm, but fails when trying to run through a batch file.

Modules imported within the script:

from pyathena import connect
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import win32com.client as win32
import datetime
from IPython.display import HTML


Error Message:

When I run my script in my Jupyter Notebook and PyCharm I don't see this error message, but when I run it on the command line I get the error above. I do have the "C:\Users\jraines\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\urllib3\ssl_.py" file installed as well.
