This might be a dumb question -

in the command line, python -m requests.cert gives result:
/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

How is the right way to get the result inside python script?

#!/usr/bin/env python
import requets

result=requests.cert
print(result)

The script above returns result:

Output:
<module 'requests.certs' from '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/certs.pyc'>

not sure why it is like this. I would like to get /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

you have mispelled requests line 2
method name is certs, not cert line 4

Look at the source code of requests.certs.py you will see all it does is to import where() function from third-party package certifi

the rest of the code is within if __name__ == '__main__': block and executed when you execute crts.py as standalone script.
So if you want to replicate

from certifi import where
print(where())

the source of where()

import os


def where():
    f = os.path.dirname(__file__)

    return os.path.join(f, 'cacert.pem')

of course this assumes certiffi is installed
