I can achieve the same error by removing /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/urllib3/packages/ssl_match_hostname and creating the directory in the same location instead. So solution can be just removing this directory (or just renaming it): # mv /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/urllib3/packages/ssl_match_ hostname /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/urllib3/packages/ssl_match_hostname.backup # yum update python-urllib3 M. -- Marek Blaha <mblaha@xxxxxxxxxx> Red Hat Czech s.r.o.
