Error importing hashlib with python 2.7 but not with 2.6

Viewed 87266

I'm on Solaris 10 (x86).

Until now, I was using python2.6. Today, I installed python2.7 and I have a weird error occuring when importing hashlib on 2.7, but not on 2.6:

Python 2.6:

root@myserver [PROD] # python2.6 -c "import hashlib"
root@myserver [PROD] # 

Python 2.7:

root@myserver [PROD] # python2.7 -c "import hashlib"
ERROR:root:code for hash md5 was not found.

I don't understand why I have this error since I'm trying the import ON THE SAME MACHINE.

Thanks in advance for your help!

The python2.7 package is dependent to the libssl1_0_0 package (openssl_1.0 runtime librairies).

I installed it, and added the /usr/local/ssl/lib directory in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environnent variable.

And now it works perfectly! :)

I know you're using Solaris, but I've followed these instructions to install the old libssl1.0-dev and it worked on Ubuntu 20.04.

Edit file /etc/apt/sources.list and add this line to the end of it.

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main

After that run:

sudo apt update && apt-cache policy libssl1.0-dev

Finally,

sudo apt-get install libssl1.0-dev
