Problem

Today I came across the situation where after installing pysftp suddenly I won’t be able to start odoo again. I have tried to do

service odoo restart
service odoo stop 
service odoo start

When I have tried to uninstall pysftp, I was having SSL_ST_INIT error

Solution

Step 1: Backup existing directory on OpenSSL and pyOpenSSL from dist-packages folder.

2 cp -r /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyOpenSSL-0.15.1.egg-info /tmp/

Step 2: Remove directory OpenSSL and pyOpenSSL from dist-packages folder and install pyopenssl module

Copy to Clipboard1

1# rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/OpenSSL 

# rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyOpenSSL-0.15.1.egg-info

# sudo pip install pyopenssl

Step 3: Start odoo service.
