Hi,  
I am trying to use ansible for configuration management on JUNOS devices. Getting below error and need help in resolving.

**ansible-playbook 2.5.4**  
**config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg**  
**configured module search path = [u’/home/attcloud/.ansible/plugins/modules’, u’/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]**  
**ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible**  
**executable location = /usr/bin/ansible-playbook**  
**python version = 2.7.12 (default, Nov 19 2016, 06:48:10) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609]**  
**Using /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg as config file**  
**Parsed /home/attcloud/netconf\_PoC/netconfNtp/inventory/dbehosts inventory source with ini plugin**  
**ERROR! Unexpected Exception, this is probably a bug: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘SSL\_ST\_INIT’**  
**the full traceback was:**

I am using an Ubuntu 16.0.4.3 LTS and installing pyOpenSSL package using pip/yum/git clone is not working. Please help me out.
