When i import python ssl module just after python is installed, it is prompted that ssl module cannot be found like below. This article will tell you how to resolve it.
$ python Python 2.7.15 (default, Oct 23 2018, 18:08:43) >>> import ssl Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/local/python27/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 60, in <module> import _ssl # if we can't import it, let the error propagate ImportError: No module named _ssl >>>
1. Verify Openssl Package Has Been Installed Correctlly.
First, i use below command to check whether python openssl package has been installed correctly or not. Then i found package openssl-devel is missing.
$ rpm -aq|grep openssl openssl-0.9.8e-20.el5 openssl-0.9.8e-20.el5
2. Install openssl-devel Package With Yum.
$ yum install openssl-devel -y
3. Check openssl-devel Package Installation Result.
Now check openssl package again, you can find openssl-devel has been installed.
$ rpm -aq|grep openssl openssl-devel-1.0.1e-57.el6.x86_64 openssl-1.0.1e-57.el6.x86_64
4. Recompile Python.
Edit python setup file /src/Python-2.7.15/Modules/Setup with below source code.
# Socket module helper for socket(2) _socket socketmodule.c timemodule.c # Socket module helper for SSL support; you must comment out the other # socket line above, and possibly edit the SSL variable: #SSL=/usr/local/ssl _ssl _ssl.c \ -DUSE_SSL -I$(SSL)/include -I$(SSL)/include/openssl \ -L$(SSL)/lib -lssl -lcrypto
Then go to python source code directory and rebuild python executable.
$ cd /src/Python-2.7.15/ $ make $ make install
5. Import Python ssl Module Again.
Now import ssl module in python interactive command console again, the error no module named _ssl will disappear.
$ python Python 2.7.15 (default, Oct 23 2018, 19:08:43) >>> import ssl >>>
