pip install pyopenssl object has no attribute 'SSL_ST_INIT'
By John Parsons •
I've searched this forum for the same issues and none of the fixes worked for me. I have a Ubuntu 18.04 and any python 2.7 modules that need OpenSSL I get an attribute error. Pip install command always gives attribute error, but a pip freeze command works.
I tried (unsuccessfully) the commands:
pip install -U pyopenssl
rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/OpenSSL
rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyOpenSSL-17.5.0.egg-info
pip install pyopenssl
python2.7 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
easy_install --upgrade pyOpenSSLAny suggestions would be much appreciated!
$ pip install pyopenssl

The below command did the trick.
python2.7 -m easy_install --upgrade pyOpenSSLMore in general
