Python Requests Throwing SSL Error

I am running a Python script in 2 environment using Requests Package.

The Script is working fine in one Environment where,

RedHat version is : Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)
OpenSSL version is : OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013
Python Version is : Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep  4 2013, 07:46:00)
Requests Package is : requests-2.7.0-py2.6

But The Same Script is throwing the SSL Error in another Environment where,

RedHat version is : Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)
OpenSSL version is : OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013
Python Version is : Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep  4 2013, 07:46:00)
Requests Package is : requests-2.7.0-py2.6

Error is:

raise SSLError(e, request=request)
requests.exceptions.SSLError: [Errno 1] _ssl.c:492: error:100AE081:elliptic curve routines:EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name:unknown group

I am calling the URL as below

requests.request('GET', url, verify=False, headers = headers)

Can anyone please help me in resolving the above error

You need to update your system to get a newer version of the OpenSSL package. Even if openssl version reports the same version 1.0.1e-fips the OpenSSL libraries on both systems differ probably because RedHat added patches. It is common to not upgrade to a newer OpenSSL version if patches are needed but instead apply the patch to the current version to keep compatibility for existing applications.

If you check the version of the rpm package with rpm -qi you will notice that the package version differs on both machines so an upgrade should fix the issue for you.

you can try updating your openSSL package. The issue is with compatibility of the package with linux . You might get further help by referring to the link:- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1023331
