Hi, first of all, you need to use the library directory for LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It's the directory that contains libssl*.so, probably /home/fetch/opt/lib or /home/fetch/opt/lib64. You may also have to recompile Python yourself. OpenSSL 1.0.2 is not ABI-compatible with OpenSSL 1.0.0. In case you want to use OpenSSL 1.1.0, you must update to a more recent version of Python, too. OpenSSL 1.1.0 support was added in 2.7.13. Christian -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
