SSL wrap socket: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'wrap_socket'

I'm creating a very simple example on OSX with python 2.6 but I keep getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ssl.py", line 1, in <module>
    import socket, ssl
  File "/Users/Dennis/ssl.py", line 5, in <module>
    sslSocket = ssl.wrap_socket(s)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'wrap_socket'

Code:

import socket, ssl

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(('irc.freenode.net', 7000))
sslSocket = ssl.wrap_socket(s)
print repr(sslSocket.server())
print repr(sslSocket.issuer())
sslSocket.write('Hello secure socket\n')
s.close()

What am I doing terribly wrong?

If you didn't name your own script ssl.py and use Python 3.12 or newer, this is expected:

Remove the ssl.wrap_socket() function, deprecated in Python 3.7: instead, create a ssl.SSLContext object and call its ssl.SSLContext.wrap_socket method. Any package that still uses ssl.wrap_socket() is broken and insecure.

Your script is : ssl.py

When you do an import ssl, it calls itself and that is why you get the AttributeError

Give another name to your script and it should work.

Don't name your script ssl.py, because when you name your script ssl.py and you do import ssl you're importing this same script .
