Unable to install Plafrom IO ide for VS code

victorguimbretiere9 · May 8, 2023, 12:19pm

Hi I was recently trying to install the platform io ide for VS code and got the error

ImportError: urllib3 v2.0 only supports OpenSSL 1.1.1+, currently the 'ssl' module is compiled with LibreSSL 2.8.3.

I was wondering what I should do to fix this issue

Thanks for the help

- [ X] **PlatformIO Core**. If you’ve found a bug, please provide an info…rmation below. *You can erase any parts of this template not applicable to your Issue.* ------------------------------------------------------------------ ### Configuration **Operating system**: Mac OS Ventura 13.3.1 (a) ARM64 **PlatformIO Version** (`platformio --version`): PlatformIO Core, version 6.1.6 ### Description of problem A default install of platformio on a MacOS host using the default python and python ssl module will fail to run, giving the following error ``` $ platformio --version Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/stu/.platformio/penv/bin/platformio", line 5, in <module> from platformio.__main__ import main File "/Users/stu/.platformio/penv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/platformio/__main__.py", line 21, in <module> from platformio import __version__, exception, maintenance File "/Users/stu/.platformio/penv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/platformio/maintenance.py", line 22, in <module> from platformio import __version__, app, exception, fs, telemetry File "/Users/stu/.platformio/penv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/platformio/telemetry.py", line 28, in <module> import requests File "/Users/stu/.platformio/penv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/requests/__init__.py", line 43, in <module> import urllib3 File "/Users/stu/.platformio/penv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/urllib3/__init__.py", line 38, in <module> raise ImportError( ImportError: urllib3 v2.0 only supports OpenSSL 1.1.1+, currently the 'ssl' module is compiled with LibreSSL 2.8.3. See: https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/2168 ``` This is due to the recently launched `urllib3` version 2 series throws errors when used with libressl and older versions of openssl. urllib3 is a dependency for `requests` #### Steps to Reproduce 1. Install platfromio using platformio installer (e.g. `python3 -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/platformio/platformio/master/scripts/get-platformio.py)"` 2. run `platformio --version` ### Actual Results The error listed above ### Expected Results PlatformIO Core, version 6.1.6 ### Additional info A workaround is as follows: ``` . ~/.platformio/penv/bin/activate pip install urllib3==1.26.15 ``` This allows the platformio command to work correctly.

Try installing the core first from the bleeding-edge per Installer Script (Recommended) — PlatformIO latest documentation, then restart VSCode.
