Answer 1

I was receiving this error when deploying to Beanstalk since I need pycurl for Celery. While in many discussions people recommend different ssl options, my solution was not to use any of these options. Python config file for deploying looks as follows:

packages:
  yum:
    git: []
    postgresql93-devel: []
    libcurl-devel: []
    libjpeg-turbo-devel: []

commands:
  01_download_pip3:
      command: 'curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py'
  02_install_pip3:
      command: 'python3 get-pip.py'
  03_pycurl_uninstall:
      command: '/usr/bin/yes | sudo /opt/python/run/venv/bin/pip3 uninstall pycurl'
  04_pycurl_reinstall:
      command: 'sudo /opt/python/run/venv/bin/pip3 install pycurl'

I did not set any environment variables within the software configuration of Beanstalk.

On MacOS Mojave this worked for me:

  export PYCURL_SSL_LIBRARY=openssl
  export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib;export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include;pip3 install pycurl --compile --no-cache-dir
