Its not a Python 2.x to 3.x issue, its the Certbot dependency on 
py-openssl, the update made on Feb 19th to version 20.0.1 of py-openssl, 
missed a dependency requirement. I had mine working with python 3.9 for 
a while. It had recently broke after some updates, but I hadn't had time 
to look into yet. Here is what I found.

from https://pypi.org/project/pyOpenSSL/

20.0.0 (2020-11-27)
Backward-incompatible changes:

     The minimum cryptography version is now 3.2.
     Remove deprecated OpenSSL.tsafe module.
     Removed deprecated OpenSSL.SSL.Context.set_npn_advertise_callback, 
OpenSSL.SSL.Context.set_npn_select_callback, and 
OpenSSL.SSL.Connection.get_next_proto_negotiated.
     Drop support for Python 3.4
     Drop support for OpenSSL 1.0.1 and 1.0.2


So the real issue is the py-openssl port, and it looks like someone has 
already filed a bug report.
