ImportError: urllib3 v2.0 only supports OpenSSL 1.1.1+

When I try to run the Python script on macOS 12.6.6 with Xcode 14.2 (Python 3.9), I get this error:

Looks like this is a conflict between the version os OpenSSL shipped with macOS 12 and urllib3. There's some diagnosis at this StackOverflow question, but the solution that worked for me was:

/usr/bin/python3 -m pip install urllib3==1.26.6
