Indeed .. that is a BUG with the package that needs to be solved.

Either they need to test it with 'pyOpenSSL = 0.13.1-3.el7' OR, they
need to provide 'pyOpenSSL >= 16.2.0'.

Since they can not REPLACE things in RHEL via EPEL, they will need to
make that package work with 'pyOpenSSL = 0.13.1-3.el7' or remove the
package.
