Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: home.adamsalem.co.uk

I ran this command: certbot

It produced this output:

I resolved this, my Python was installed with MacPorts and I had done pip install funcsigs which was working and reporting fine but I needed to port install python27-funcsigs for it to work with certbot.
