SSL backend error when using OpenSSL

Question

I was trying to install pycurl in a virtualenv using pip and I got this error

ImportError: pycurl: libcurl link-time ssl backend (openssl) is different from         


        

Answer 1

Error:

ImportError: pycurl: libcurl link-time ssl backend (openssl) is different from compile-time ssl backend (none/other)

This worked for me, Mac 10.13, python 3.5, pycurl import worked after installing like this

pip3 uninstall pycurl;

pip3 install --compile --install-option="--with-openssl" pycurl
