Answer 1

If you don't need to use the lastest pyOpenSSL, just rolled back to 0.12, this is the simplest way.

pip install pyOpenSSL==0.12

Check for @Jean-Paul's answer for detail.

Answer 2

I couldn't install libssl-devel or libssl-dev, but this worked for me on CentOS 6 (when pyOpenSSL 0.13.1 was previously installed):

sudo yum -y remove pyOpenSSL.x86_64
sudo yum -y install libffi-devel
#sudo yum -y install libssl-devel 
sudo yum -y install openssl-devel 
sudo yum -y install python-devel
sudo pip install pyopenssl

We had the same issue. Checking a bit we found a way to resolve it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pyopenssl/+bug/845445

What you're looking for is "Philip's fix works for me on CentOS 5.6:": https://bugs.launchpad.net/pyopenssl/+bug/845445/comments/9

This worked well in our case.
