AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SSL_ST_INIT'

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

    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? – codyc4321 Jan 28 '18 at 02:42
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. – Stephen Rauch Jan 28 '18 at 02:47
`$ which python /usr/bin/python ` – codyc4321 Jan 28 '18 at 02:50
That may be the default python from the distribution. I would suggest trying both `pip2` and `pip3` to see which works for your situation. – Stephen Rauch Jan 28 '18 at 02:52
