Please don't mark the question as a duplicate. I have gone through every possibility, but I didn't find an answer. I use Ubuntu 12.04(LTS)

Python urlopen function raises this error message when an https site is given as input:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "fb.py", line 13, in <module>
    htmlfile = urllib.urlopen(url)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 86, in urlopen
    return opener.open(url)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 207, in open
    return getattr(self, name)(url)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 436, in open_https

    ciphers=ciphers)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 143, in __init__
    self.do_handshake()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 305, in do_handshake
    self._sslobj.do_handshake()
IOError: [Errno socket error] [Errno 8] _ssl.c:504: EOF occurred in violation of protocol

How do I fix this?

You didn't give your url, so I tried this site.

import sys
import urllib

print sys.version

2.7.5+ (default, Sep 19 2013, 13:48:49)

[GCC 4.8.1]

print urllib.__version__

1.17

url = 'https://askubuntu.com'
res = urllib.urlopen(url)

print res.url

https://askubuntu.com/

print res.headers

At least on Ubuntu 13.10 I can't reproduce the problem.
