ImportError: urllib3 v2.0 only supports OpenSSL 1.1.1+, currently the 'ssl' module is compiled with LibreSSL 2.8.3

4 min read

This error occurs because urllib3 version 2.0 requires OpenSSL version 1.1.1 or above, but the 'ssl' module in the current environment is compiled with LibreSSL version 2.8.3, which is not compatible with urllib3 v2.0.

To resolve this issue, you can try one of the following solutions:

  1. Upgrade OpenSSL to version 1.1.1 or above.
  2. Downgrade urllib3 to a version that is compatible with LibreSSL 2.8.3.
  3. Compile the 'ssl' module with OpenSSL version 1.1.1 or above.
  4. Switch to a different environment that has OpenSSL version 1.1.1 or above installed.

Depending on your specific situation, one of these solutions should help resolve the ImportError.
