I am having problems installing flask on my server.

$ sudo pip3 install flask
Collecting flask
From cffi callback <function _verify_callback at 0x7f2798df7840>:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/OpenSSL/SSL.py", line 309, in wrapper
    _lib.X509_up_ref(x509)
AttributeError: module 'lib' has no attribute 'X509_up_ref'
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement flask (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for flask

I have upgraded and updated pip:

$ pip3 --version
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (python 3.5)

Debian version:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 9.4 (stretch)
Release:    9.4
Codename:   stretch

Python version:

$ python3 --version
Python 3.5.3

I believe the main error is related to the lib module, as you can see on the error code, but I have no idea of how to solve it.

Any clues on what's wrong and how to fix it?

  • You have incompatible versions of `pyopenssl` and `cryptography` packages. Can you list them? `pip show pyopenssl | grep Version` and `pip show cryptography | grep Version`. – hoefling Aug 30 '18 at 08:55

If possible, I would first try to install python modules such as flask from the Debian repositories, before trying to install them with pip. Flash for instance is available in Debian 9: package python3-flask.

  • apt install python3-flask
