Google storage Service account authentication requires PyOpenSSL after some time

I use google storage via the python boto plugin

My python scripts works as expected for about an hour or so. Then it gives me the error:

Service account authentication requires PyOpenSSL. Please install this library and try again.

My code:

import boto

src_uri = boto.storage_uri(DOGS_BUCKET + '/' + filename, GOOGLE_STORAGE)
object_contents = StringIO.StringIO()
src_uri.get_key().get_file(object_contents)

pyopenssl is installed

Solution

  • this problem was caused by a too old python version

    I don't have these problems with python 2.7.9+
