Python AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SSL_ST_INIT'

Question

A Python script of mine is failing with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \"./inspect_sheet.py\", line 21, in 
    main()
  File \"./i         


        

Answer 1

Just in case anyone else isn't finding exactly the right incantations to make this work, as of Nov 2018 the thing that worked for me was:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/OpenSSL/ sudo apt install --reinstall python-openssl

Good luck!
