Don't know if this has been solved yet but I was getting similar problems with Anaconda python 3.7.3 and Idle on Windows 10. Fixed it by adding:

<path>\Anaconda3<path>\Anaconda3\scripts<path>\Anaconda3\Library\bin

to the PATH variable.


I am on Windows 10, I had the problem with a new fresh installation of Anaconda on python 3.7.4, this post on github solved my problem:

( source: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/8273)

I cite:

"My workaround:I have copied the following files

libcrypto-1_1-x64.*libssl-1_1-x64.*

from D:\Anaconda3\Library\bin to D:\Anaconda3\DLLs.

And it works as a charm!"


Windows Users need to set below paths:

  • ..\Anaconda3
  • ..\Anaconda3\scripts
  • ..\Anaconda3\Library\bin

Per user:

  1. Open Environment variable
  2. Click User Variable
  3. Close command prompt if already open and reopen it

System wide (requires restart):

  1. Open Environment variable
  2. Click System Variable
  3. Restart Windows
