Python SSL connection “EOF occurred in violation of protocol”

Question

I\'m using Django Celery task to connect to Facebook Graph API with requests lib using Gevent. Issue I\'m constantly running at is that every now and then I get EOF occurred

Answer 1

I installed the latest Python 2.7 (2.7.11) and the problem went away. I believe the problem might even be solved back in 2.7.6 (I was using 2.7.5 on Mac OSX).

Answer 2

I was having the same error during fetching tweets for my machine learning . Doing the pip install of the following helped me. This works:

pip install ndg-httpsclient
pip install pyopenssl
pip install pyasn1

It removed my SSLError: EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:590) error.

Hope it helps.

Answer 3

Using the forced TLSv1 fix as suggested by J.F Sebastian fixed all the issues I was facing.

Hints for future questions regarding:

• DNSError exception - upgrading Gevent from 0.13.X to 1.0rc fixes this issue

• SSL issues - look at fix in link provided by J.F Sebastian
