I am trying to connect to my postgres database using psycopg2 with sslmode=\'required\' param; however, I get the following error

psycopg2.OperationalError:          


        

Answer 1

I had this same error, which turned out to be because I was using the Anaconda version of psycopg2. To fix it, I had adapt VictorF's solution from here and run:

conda uninstall psycopg2
sudo ln -s /Users/YOURUSERNAME/anaconda/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib
sudo ln -s /Users/YOURUSERNAME/anaconda/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib
pip install psycopg2

Then when you run conda list you'll see psycopg2 installed with in the far right column. After that, I just restarted Python and everything worked.
