How did you install python? Did you build it yourself? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5128845/importerror-no-module-named-ssl — Patrick Haugh, Jul 02 '18 at 02:10

The error above is

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_ssl'

So the real problem is my python3 can not import the module _ssl

My python 3.5 was installed from source code. Below are the correct ways to make python 3.5 have _ssl.

1. install openssl-devel by yum(My OS is CentOS)
2. compile your python source code with command (./configure && make && make install)
