[Python-modules-team] Bug#770246: python-urllib3: Import of package fails with error

[Lee Begg]

Package: python-urllib3
Version: 1.9.1-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The python-urllib3 package can't be used because it throws an exception. This also
affects requests since it uses urllib3. This could well be due to changes to pyopenssl.

Traceback follows:

File "/home/lee/personal/dev/inviddl/viddl/patterns.py", line 38, in <module>
    import requests
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/__init__.py", line 68, in <module>
    _attach_namespace(urllib3, 'requests.packages')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/__init__.py", line 63, in _attach_namespace
    module = __import__(name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/urllib3/contrib/pyopenssl.py", line 73, in <module>
    ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3: OpenSSL.SSL.SSLv3_METHOD,
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PROTOCOL_SSLv3'
