Having issues getting past this error... to install the libraries I just used

sudo apt-get install python-argh

sudo apt-get install python-sleekxmpp

sudo apt-get install python-requests

Linux 3.8.0-19-generic #30-Ubuntu

I had the same issue but solved it by installing a more recent version of the sleekxmpp library.

For Debian/Ubuntu run:
sudo apt-get purge python-sleekxmpp
sudo pip install sleekxmpp

Or:
sudo pip install --upgrade sleekxmpp

Shouldn't the line # sudo apt-get install python-argh (from above)

actually be:

sudo apt-get install python-argparse

@jpoppe is right. His recommendation to install the latest sleekxmpp has solved the issue with the error "use_ssl" at my Ubuntu 14.04.
THanks.
