I was getting an error with Python 2.7 after coming in this morning and running a script.

Here is the error:

ValueError: unsupported hash type sha512

Along with a LOT of console output. This was what got repeated over and over.

Here is the fix Work around with Open SSL and Python Linking that didn't mean I had to reinstall Python 2.7 (which is a little dodgy, in my opinion to fix something like this).

Also, this was after I installed, in PyEnv, python 3.7.x, so maybe the links got messed up. Anyway, glad to know that following this set things right again.
