Solution

This error message is indicating that the version of OpenSSL installed on your system is too old to work with the version of urllib3 you are using. To fix this issue, you can either upgrade OpenSSL to version 1.1.1 or newer, or downgrade urllib3 to a version that is compatible with your current version of OpenSSL.

To upgrade OpenSSL, you can download and install the latest version of OpenSSL for your operating system from the OpenSSL website: https://www.openssl.org/source/

To downgrade urllib3, you can run the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

pip install urllib3==1.26.6

This will install version 1.26.6 of urllib3, which is compatible with OpenSSL 1.1.0.
