If you start the Python interpreter and execute
>>> import ssl
>>> ssl.__file__
'/usr/lib/python3.4/ssl.py'
does it print something suspicious? You might be hiding the standard ssl.py
with one you created yourself:
# touch ssl.py
$ python3
Python 3.4.3 (default, Nov 28 2017, 16:41:13)
[GCC 4.8.4] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ssl
>>> ssl.__file__
'/home/peter/mystuff/ssl.py'
In that case just rename the offending file (if you are using Python 2
remember to remove the corresponding ssl.pyc).
