How to Fix AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘SSLContext’

AttributeError - 'module' object has no attribute 'SSLContext'

To fix the AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘SSLContext’ error, “upgrade your Python version to the latest version.”

AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘SSLContext’ error occurs when you are trying to access the SSLContext attribute of a Python module, but that attribute does not exist because you are using an older version of Python.

If the SSL module is causing the error in Python, then one thing to note is that SSLContext was introduced in Python 2.7.9 and 3.2. If you use an older version, you won’t have this attribute available.

To check the latest version of Python, use this code: 

import sys

print(sys.version)

Output

3.9.17 (main, Jun 20 2023, 18:00:22)
[Clang 14.0.3 (clang-1403.0.22.14.1)]

After updating, ensure you are importing the correct module. For instance, if you’re trying to access SSLContext from the ssl module, your import statement should be like this:

import ssl

I hope this solution will help you fix the error.
