Can't renew after updating python version

[exxos]

When I update I kept on getting this message.

/opt/eff.org/certbot/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography/hazmat/primitives/constant_time.py:26: CryptographyDeprecationWarning: Support for your Python version is deprecated. The next version of cryptography will remove support. Please upgrade to a release (2.7.7+) that supports hmac.compare_digest as soon as possible.
utils.PersistentlyDeprecated2018,

So I updated python to version 2.7.16… but now its broke totally and get this now ?

./certbot-auto renew
Error: couldn’t get currently installed version for /opt/eff.org/certbot/venv/bin/letsencrypt:

Try renaming /opt/eff.org/certbot so that certbot-auto will reinstall itself.

What OS are you using? How did you upgrade Python?

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

I had some problems updating , but used this in the end

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/python-2.7

python -V
Python 2.7.16

I ran
rm -rf /opt/eff.org/*

Then ran
./certbot-auto renew

Looks like certbot installed itself, and looks like that solved the problem. Thanks!

breathes yet a bit more life into a 14.04 LTS …

Yeah, updating to a newer version of Ubuntu isn’t going to be fun with all the old sites I am running. I tried updating php a while ago, all hell broke loose

I have no good advice for you there…
Best of luck! (when the time comes)
