#102727 — ImportError: cannot import name 'RAND_egd'

Hi,

I am trying to run a 60 lines Python code which is running on a mac machine but on windows machine, I am getting this error when I run on it on shell(open file and run module). I have Python 3.5 installed.

   from _ssl import RAND_status, RAND_egd, RAND_add
ImportError: cannot import name 'RAND_egd'

Form forums, I found that it is a common error but could not find a good solution that will work for me.

One of the ways was to create scripts folder and putting easy_install.exe and then running easy_install pip but that gave me sytnax error.

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Regards
Shaunak

Why are you importing these directly from the "_ssl" C module and not
from the "ssl" wrapper module? Anything that starts with an _ should
be considered a private implementation detail and shouldn't be relied
upon.

The ssl module in the standard library has this:

try:
    from _ssl import RAND_egd
except ImportError:
    # LibreSSL does not provide RAND_egd
    pass

So it looks like you cannot depend on ssl.RAND_egd to be present.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for your reply.
I wasn't trying to import it from _ssl. That was part of the error. My code did not have RAND_egd. I think it was just about ssl package being missing. After installing analcondra distribution, it stopped throwing this particular error at least.
