The error message tells you that a message digest algorithm is being used (liklely by the remote site) which is not supported locally. There is a big chance that this means that locally something (related with ssl/message digests - i.e. likely "OpenSSL") is too old. I would try to upgrade the "OpenSSL" installation -- and then see whether the problem goes away. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
