AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SSL_ST_INIT' [duplicate]

Question

I am getting an SSL error using twilio. Anybody have any suggestions?

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "communication_easy/that_guy/communicate.py", line 4, in <module>
    from twilio.rest import Client
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/twilio/rest/__init__.py", line 14, in <module>

    SSL_ST_INIT = _lib.SSL_ST_INIT
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SSL_ST_INIT'

Code:

import random
from twilio.rest import Client

TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID = "asdfasdfsdfsdf"
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN  = "asdfasdfasdfasf"
TWILIO_NUMBER = "+5555555"


def send_text(body, target_phone_number):
    client = Client(TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID, TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN)
    message = client.messages.create(body=body, from_=TWILIO_NUMBER, to=target_phone_number)

send_text(blah, blah)

According to this github ticket, the problem can be solved by upgrading to pyOpenSSL>=16.2.0

Try:

pip install pyOpenSSL -U

ty. I did that but it defaulted pip to python3...does using pip default to python3 now if you dont mind?

Which pip depends on the OS and distribution and... Find your python install dir with which python or where python. Use the pip in the scripts directory there.

$ which python /usr/bin/python

That may be the default python from the distribution. I would suggest trying both pip2 and pip3 to see which works for your situation.
