[SOLVED] Unable to locate package python-openssl

Issue

I'm trying to install Pyenv, and I'm running on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. but whenever I run this command

sudo apt install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev \ libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev \ libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev python-openssl \ git

I get this message saying

Unable to locate package python-openssl

I've tried searching for solutions online, but I think they have encountered it on older versions of Ubuntu and not on the latest version.

EDIT: I found the solution on the internet. I should've indicate that instead of python-openssl, I should have use python3-openssl.


Solution

Make sure your list of packages is updated (sudo apt update). Python openssl bindings are available in 22.04 in python3-openssl (link), so you can install it by running

sudo apt install python3-openssl
