Got ImportError: No module named _util while running scrapy crawl

Question

I am running a scrapy spider in the following virtual environment:

Python 2.7.10

Package                 Version    
----------------------- -----------
:
:      
pyOpenSSL               18.0.0     
:
:

It seems to have the latest version of pyOpenSSL. However, when I run:

scrapy crawl launch_dates

I get the following error:

Has anyone faced the same issue? I am seeking for any hint to solve it :)

No, this question has been resolved by upgrading pyOpenSSL. Unfortunately, my version of pyOpenSSL is already the latest one... — V. Foy, Dec 13 '18 at 08:39
@V.Foy I would recommend using a Virtual Environment, as it looks like you are installing everything directly in your system. — eLRuLL, Dec 13 '18 at 15:44
@eLRuLL I am already using a virtual environment. pyOpenSSL looks to up-to-date in the ladder... :( — V. Foy, Dec 14 '18 at 04:30
