ImportError: cannot import name md5

Question

Don't really know what's going on here, I need to deploy my flask app on elastic beanstalk but somehow changed the path and can't run python application.py anymore

[dotnet --info]

I've already done these steps too :

LDFLAGS:  -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include

Still got this error:

File "/Users/ipchelsea/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/urllib3/util/ssl_.py", line 8, in <module>
    from hashlib import md5, sha1, sha256
ImportError: cannot import name md5

When I do [brew link --force openssl], I get below:

I'm using macOS, fix this by brew unlink openssl && brew reinstall python@2

From comment, python@2 is no longer available. This may work brew unlink openssl && brew reinstall https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/86a44a0a552c673a05f11018459c9f5faae3becc/Formula/[email protected]
