This is a problem of cryptography installation, try installing crytography again, which includes installation of OpenSSL also. And your project will starts working with this. Follow these steps.

For Debian and Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev

For Fedora and RHEL-derivatives

$ sudo yum install gcc libffi-devel python-devel openssl-devel

After installing this, you should now be able to build and install cryptography with the usual

$ pip install cryptography

After this, try creating your scrapy project.
