pip throws "TypeError: deprecated() " error – Ubuntu

I am trying to install few packages and started getting an error. Then used multiple commands in ubuntu to update few things but errors are similar

pip install -U pip setuptools
or
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
or
sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade pip

Following is the error sample

user@machine:~$ pip install cryptography

I have updated the system with apt-get install libffi-dev python-dev python3-dev and
apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev already as suggested in here

    Something got broken down in OpenSSL and no command was working with pip afterwards. I was even unable uninstall pip.

    I removed installation files manually (most likely not a recommended approach) with

    sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/OpenSSL
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pyOpenSSL-22.1.0.dist-info/

    and reinstalled using pip3 install pyOpenSSL==22.0.0. The other version was having some issue as described here.

    For me even uninstall of pyOpenSSL was encountering same error TypeError: deprecated() got an unexpected keyword argument 'name'

    so first I upgraded pip to 23.0 ,uninstall PyOpenSSL,manually deleted openSSL folder from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages then installed PyOpenSSL 20.0.0, finally issue resolved.

    I know this isn’t a good fix but you can just add sudo before the rest of the command. It bypasses the error.

    without sudo

    Upgrading pyOpenSSL worked for me!

    pip install pyOpenSSL --upgrade

    The accepted answer did not work for me (Python 3.8.10).

    I solved the issue by creating a fresh virtual environment and upgrading pip (from 20.x to latest version as of now 23.1):

    pip install --upgrade pip

    Only after that I installed the other dependencies.
