Answer 1

Error code 1 sometimes occurs due to lack of permissions. If you have an admin account, try prefacing your command with sudo.

Answer 2

Perhaps your Python lacks openssl support? You can find out:

python
>>> import socket
>>> hasattr(socket, 'ssl')
True

If socket doesn't have the ssl attribute, you don't have the needed capabilities.

AFAIK, openssl support must be selected for compilation of the Python interpreter and cannot be installed afterwards.
