Pip failing ? need to update python3 file cyrpto.py?

post by waiitt on Jan 3, 2023

I just had pip3 randomly and completely fail. It seems to be having a problem with the OpenSSL stuff and mentions an error in the crypto.py file. When I google it, I end up at stack overflow.

They recommend I try to update the python file crypto.py and comment out the offending line and upgrade the pip packages…

pip install pip --upgrade
pip install pyopenssl --upgrade

But I don’t have root on this system? Not sure how I get it from Lambda? But is this really the fix?

Can’t imagine what happened to pip? It all seems strange and fishy.

thanks
