Why are you importing these directly from the "_ssl" C module and not from the "ssl" wrapper module? Anything that starts with an _ should be considered a private implementation detail and shouldn't be relied upon. > Form forums, I found that it is a common error but could not find a good > solution that will work for me. > > One of the ways was to create scripts folder and putting easy_install.exe and > then running easy_install pip but that gave me sytnax error. > > Please advise. Thanks in advance. The ssl module in the standard library has this: try: from _ssl import RAND_egd except ImportError: # LibreSSL does not provide RAND_egd pass So it looks like you cannot depend on ssl.RAND_egd to be present. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
