<urlopen error unknown url type: https>
I'm seeing this, whether trying to upgrade python or install openssl doesn't work. Does linode socket module support SSL?

There is no such thing as a "linode socket module"… There exists only what you install from sources that only you know.
IMHO, one of three things is happening here:
you have a coding error;
if the web server to which the URL points belongs to you, you didn't set up SSL…or didn't set it up correctly; or
you forgot to install something on which your "linode socket module" depends.
I haven't any idea what you're trying to do so I can't offer any more specific advice than that…

Thanks for the reply, I figured out the situation, turns out that another version (seems to come with the vm or os image probably from the beginning), there's python3 (3.7) already installed in /usr/local/bin (and lib) location where beyond yum's reach which does not have a ssl module. And no matter how many times i did yum install openssl-devel and reinstall python3 it just won't go through. So I removed this python3 gang entirely, and do yum install which is automatically a python3.6 version coming with the full ssl package. And it got installed and recognized from the right location of /usr/bin, which then solves the problem.
