Pipenv: Broken pipenv after update: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SSL_ST_INIT'

After:

$ sudo pip install -U pipenv
...
ackages (from pew>=0.1.26->pipenv)
Installing collected packages: pew, pipenv
  Found existing installation: pew 0.1.26
    Uninstalling pew-0.1.26:

    Uninstalling pipenv-8.2.5:

I couldn't use pipenv:

Do you have requests[security] installed globally?

[eduzen]

I have requests globally. Security, I don't know.

 ~  pip freeze | grep requests
requests==2.18.4

[erinxocon]

Can you uninstall requests and then reinstall pipenv? I think you have the the security package installed which is causing some issues with OpenSSL?

[eduzen]

I uninstalled requests and pipenv and then I reinstalled both, but the problem still happening. I did some research and I found that the problem was pyOpenSSL. I remove that lib and reinstalled:
sudo pip install -U pyOpenSSL
Now pipenv works!

this fixed my virt-manager

SSL_ST_INIT = _lib.SSL_ST_INIT
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SSL_ST_INIT'

Solution:
pip uninstall pyOpenSSL

[vhosakot]

I saw the AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SSL_ST_INIT' error too and sudo pip install pyOpenSSL==16.2.0 resolved it for me!

[kennethreitz42]

well glad that fixed it!

We are getting exactly same issue with pipenv-11.6.0

Uninstall of pyOpenSSL seems to solve the issue but I am not suer if this is a right way to solve it.

pip uninstall -y pyOpenSSL
...
Successfully uninstalled pyOpenSSL-0.15.1
