AttributeError: module 'urllib3.util.ssl_' has no attribute 'DEFAULT_CIPHERS'

Used Pyenv to create a Python 3.8.16 venv.

Here's the full program output:

Welcome to Keep it Markdown or KIM!

One moment...

Username or password is incorrect (AttributeError("module 'urllib3.util.ssl_' has no attribute 'DEFAULT_CIPHERS'"))
Could not excute KIM

Followed the README to create an app password also, but after reading the error, this might not be something I can resolve.

@cyrus01337 see if you can install / pin an older version of urllib3. What version is installed now by default?

[cyrus01337]

Pinning urllib3 to 1.26.16 changes the error to LoginException: BadAuthentication, even when generating a new password.

I will note that I am on Ubuntu 22.04, and my Google account has 2FA enabled, if that is any help.

I'm on Windows 10 and I have the exact same problem, were you able to find a solution?

[blumix]

pip install urllib3==1.26.1

Solved an issue to me

[Scrinia]

That worked! Thank you!

Many thanks, @blumix. I had this exact problem and your solution worked. If it's useful for anyone, I was on Win11, Python 3.11.

I was unable to use this project unfortunately and ended up (gruellingly) migrating manually, however, it seems that there are solutions to this problem that appeared to work for others. Will close, thank you everyone for your time!

@cyrus01337 sorry it didn't work out. I've added a Docker version that works without you having to install and get it working on your PC (and it works by default as long as your 2FA pw is setup). It's in the new version 0.5.3.
