On ubuntu (versions from 12.04 to 14.04) I got the following error, when I started the notebook server with secure=True parameter:
RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-3-3d6cf59ae321> in <module>() ----> 1 notebook(secure=True)

RuntimeError: HTTPS cannot be used without pyOpenSSL installed. See the Sage README for more information.
SOme remarks: First: this server was a live ~6.1* server using secure=True parameter (we used it over https). After some updating of ubuntu it crashed. Second: Since this accident I tried some new versions of Ubuntu and later versions of Sage, but the error remain same. Third: otherwise the program runs - yet the notebook server too (without SSL)
