I am currently running Ubuntu 16.04, python-openssl 0.15.1-2build1, python-cryptography 1.2.3-1ubuntu0.1 and Kodi 17.3.

The problem was initially introduced by a regular software update (by Software Updater). I found some instructions that I followed, not those here, which involved installing or reinstalling python stuff. After this Kodi started working properly again and the log spamming stopped. However a subsequent software update a few days ago has undone the fix. Things are broken again. The versions above are what I currently have.

So I say that python-openssl 0.16.2, if that is genuinely the fix, needs to be backported to 16.04 LTS.

I am strongly considering a distribution upgrade to fix this. It will be the second time recently I have been forced into a distribution upgrade by a regular software update breaking my system. Something is not right in Ubuntu's quality control.
