unable to import aerospike

After installing python client for aerospike, I am unable to import it. I am using the openssl 1.1.0g on ubuntu 18.04.

>>> import aerospike
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/aerospike.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: SSLv23_client_method

Hi @tarinders23, We don’t have a perfect solution yet, but are working on it.

For now, I would recommend manually building the C client: https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-c which the Python client depends upon, and then installing the python client:

For safety first remove the current version of the python client, (Assuming it was installed with pip) pip uninstall aerospike git clone https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-c.git cd aerospike-client-c/

Install the dependencies mentioned in the readme for that repo: https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-c#build-prerequisites

git submodule update --init Build the C client library make

From the C client directory, pip install the aerospike python client, making sure not to use the cached version. AEROSPIKE_C_HOME=$PWD DOWNLOAD_C_CLIENT=0 pip install --no-cache-dir aerospike

It’s somewhat involved, but it should work. Let me know if the doesn’t fix the issue

The python client does not officially support python 3.8 yet. The origin of the “OS not supported” error can be seen here https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-python/issues/250. You can get around this by manually building and installing the client via these directions.

Since this issue is closed please continue discussion at the open issue https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-python/issues/255.

Thanks.
