Failed building wheel for ssh-python

Question

When I try to install parallel ssh I get this error in red for some reason.I think the problem is with open ssl and with building wheel for ssh2-python

Building wheels for collected packages: ssh2-python, ssh-python
  Building wheel for ssh2-python (setup.py) ... error

can anyone help ? I'm not that experienced with python also I tried installing ssh2-python and I got a similar error

Answer 1

Wheels - Python binary packages - are provided for most platforms for those packages, including Windows for Python 3.5-3.9 (64 bit).

The above is trying to install on 32-bit Python on Windows, for which binary packages are not provided.

It therefore tries to build from source, which is failing for lack of dependencies:

missing: OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY

Can either:

• Try and get them to build on 32-bit Windows (not recommended)
• Use Python 64-bit

The latter will enable use of binary packages and does not require compiling. The former is a PITA.
