ImportError: cannot import name UnrewindableBodyError when using certbot

Question

When I am using this command in CentOS 7 to geneate a certificate:

yum install certbot
certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/example -d example.com -d www.example.com

shows this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

seems the certbot using the python 2.7, but now my server is using python 3.6. what should I do to fix it? I have to use the python3. I have tried upgrade urllib3, but it seem did not work.

Answer 1

I have tried this way and works:

pip3 install certbot
/usr/local/bin/certbot certonly -d '*.poemhub.top' --manual --preferred-challenges dns --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
