Python error "version OPENSSL_1.0.0 not defined in file libcrypto.so.1.0.0..." when trying to run command in PHP scrip (LAMPP)

Question

When in Ubuntu 14.04:

• I run a command of script written in Python with shell it normally runs.
• I try to run same command using PHP (lampp) I get this error:

    [errors] => Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 162, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code
    exec code in run_globals
  .
  .
  .
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 61, in 
    import _ssl             # if we can't import it, let the error propagate
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_ssl.i386-linux-gnu.so: symbol GENERAL_NAME_free, version OPENSSL_1.0.0 not defined in file libcrypto.so.1.0.0 with link time reference

How to fix it and let the script finish?

Some notes:

• I have installed latest openssl which I tried to reinstall
• I tried to reinstall Python2.7 too

Update:

I tried to install normal server on my local machine. By "normal server" I mean apache2, php5, mysql, phpmyadmin. And it works.

I tried to install normal server on my local machine. By "normal server" I mean apache2, php5, mysql, phpmyadmin. And it works. Lampp was removed.
