I am trying to install something for a project I'm working on and I get this error. I have gotten this error when trying to install "esptool" and searched for a couple hours to solve the issue. It worked in a "virtual environment" but would not work in VSCodium. I am working in Linux parrot 6.1.0-1parrot1-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Parrot 6.1.15-1parrot1 (2023-04-25) x86_64 GNU/Linux. And I am using Python 3.9.2.
I'm not the most fluent in Linux but I'm trying to learn as I go. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my first question on stackoverflow so if my formatting is wrong I apologize. I'm sure I'm forgetting details so please ask for more info and I will try to provide it.

I am reading directions from an online tutorial and following them line by line so when I get to an issue like this I generally look the issue up and try to figure out what to do. This issue seems pretty complex and has me stumped.
Try to edit the crypto.py file (it will be present at /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/OpenSSL/crypto.py) and comment out the line causing the issue (line no 1577) by adding a # at the start of the line
Then upgrade to the latest version of PyOpenSSL.
pip install pip --upgrade
pip install pyopenssl --upgrade
Next remove the # and try to install esptool again and it should be working
