[Eric] Error: TLS initialization failed

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hello Phil,

assuming you are using a Windows platform this isue could result from PyQt5 
using a version of Qt compiled against a newer SSL library than is part of the 
Python installation. In that case PyQt5 would pick up the Python one resulting 
in such kind of issues. Updating Python to 3.7.4 would solve the issue.

All this is just an assumption as you did not give any version and platform 
information.
