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

My solution was a lot more simplistic after these other solutions not working for me. Anything I tried to install/uninstall via pip returned the same error and stacktrace.

I ended up trying to update pip via pip3 and it worked flawlessly:

pip3 install --upgrade pip

I went back to using pip and everything worked correctly. I did notice that it was referencing Python 3.6 when running the pip commands though.

# pip install pyopenssl`enter code here`
Requirement already satisfied: pyopenssl in /usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages (18.0.0)



Requirement already satisfied: pycparser in /usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages (from cffi!=1.11.3,>=1.7->cryptography>=2.2.1->pyopenssl) (2.19)
