I'am trying to establish a test connection to an sftp server. (as demonstrated in Python Pysftp Error). I got the key from the server by establishing a first connection to the server via terminal. That worked flawlessly. However if I run the python script:
import pysftp
sftp = pysftp.Connection('test.rebex.net', username='demo', password='password')
data = s.listdir()
sftp.close()
for i in data:
print(i)
I get the following error message:

I checked the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf file to have a look at the search path which is /usr/local/lib. In said path I can find the libssl.so.1.1 file. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to interpret the error message or knows where I went wrong? Thanks a lot.
