• OS version: Amazon Linux 2023
• Python version: 3.9.16
• Using a virtual environment: yes
• Using Docker: no

Additional info Error I get is:

Any help to make this work will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

CORE_PLUGINS set in the config? If so, this is expected and the Bot will work. As far as I remember there is a PR open to fix this.

tldr; update pip inside the virtualenv python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

I've found the same problem. The solution seems to be to upgrade pyOpenSSL package inside the virtualenv.

 ~/.errbot-ve/bin/pip install -U pyOpenSSL
