I have downloaded a code from GitHub. I tried to run that code in my linux machine and i have installed all required libraries.But the code is not working and displaying the following error. Please help me to get out of this problem.I will be thankful to you.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Solution

Although this answer suggests a patch for M2Crypto-0.21.1, it never worked for me.
By default ubuntu has openssl built without SSLv2 support as explained here, I had to compile openssl from source to get it working.
