I am having an issue that is eerily similar to this post on SO. I cannot use the answer there because I am on Ubuntu, and brew is for Mac. When I try to launch my Django server, (python manage.py runsslserver) I get the following error:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2'

I know I have OpenSSL installed for Python, as when I run import ssl and then print ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION in my Python environment, I get:

OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014

There must be something really simple I am missing here. Any help at all is appreciated.

According to your question your are using Python 2.7.6. Looking at the documentation for ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2 you will see:

ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2
...Available only with openssl version 1.0.1+.
New in version 2.7.9.

Thus, you need at least version 2.7.9 of Python. Either you upgrade your system to get an newer version or get some pre-packaged newer Python version like Anaconda.

I have python 2.7.6. How would I update to 2.7.9
@ifconfig: to cite the last sentence of my answer: "Either you upgrade your system to get an newer version or get some pre-packaged newer Python version like Anaconda".
Okay, I found it. PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2 has been deprecated since 2.7.13, it should be replaced with OP_NO_SSLv3.
