gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 wsgi:app
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gunicorn", line 7, in
from gunicorn.app.wsgiapp import run

import _ssl # if we can't import it, let the error propagate

It means that didn't install Python with ssl support on your machine. Either use a package or follow the advices above :)

Closing the issue as it's not related to gunicorn.

How did you install Python3.6?
Looking at your logs, python path located in /usr/python, was it manually compiled and installed? I guess you failed to build _ssl module.

Please describe how you obtained/installed Python. Maybe you installed from source and omitted the --with-ssl option.

I had same problem.
My python version is 3.7 (64 bit). I just relaunched installation, and clicked 'Repair'.
After repair i relaunched PyCharm, and the problem was solved.
