Python - AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SSL_ST_INIT'

[hightech316]

Some python scripts and other programs are throwing this error

  from OpenSSL.SSL import Error, ZeroReturnError, WantReadError
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/OpenSSL/__init__.py", line 8, in <module>
    from OpenSSL import rand, crypto, SSL
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/OpenSSL/SSL.py", line 105, in <module>
    SSL_ST_INIT = _lib.SSL_ST_INIT
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SSL_ST_INIT'

Upon my research, Google is full of post with other users experiencing same error with all types of python scripts. Majority of posts direct user to verify pyOpenSSL version is latest ( Which I've done ) and this fixes most of the users issues.

I've implemented all suggestions I've found pertaining to this issue, with no luck what so ever.

Can any one point me in the right direction?

Here is some info

Latest version of Kali, updated daily via apt-get

pyOpenSSL==16.2.0
OpenSSL 1.1.0c  10 Nov 2016
Python 2.7.13

Thanks,
