Seems like the error is related with DLLs required for the ssl module:

import _ssl                 # if we can't import it, let the error propagate
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

To fix that you will need to either make available for your python installation the missing DLL (probably libssl.dll and libcrypto.dll) or maybe try to use a python version bellow 3.7.

Also, the message Spyder 5 No QCoreApplication instance found. Application patches not applied... is just a warning as described in one of the responses here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/66979214/15954282
