I have been struggling with this for a bit. I recently upgraded my qgis to 2.8.9, and now am having issues with the ftools plugin as well as the processing plugin. When I start qgis, I get this error:
Couldn't load plugin fTools due to an error when calling its classFactory() method. I can't even uninstall ftools, and when I try to upgrade, it gives me this error:
With the processing plugin, I am able to uninstall, but when I try to reinstall, I get this very long error (which is the same error I get when first starting qgis):

I have intalled the 64-bit windows version of qgis, and am running the 64-bit version of python 2.7.10 on my machine as well. I have tried deleting these plugins from my qgis directory, both under my User .qgis2\python\plugins directory as well as C:\OSGeo4W64\apps\qgis-ltr\python\plugins directory, but then when I do that ftools no longer comes up in the plugins list. The processing plugin does, but I get the same error when trying to install it again. Can anyone help?

The error message
'module' object has no attribute 'openssl_md_meth_names'seems to be related to python, see https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/issues/36346 for MAC OS and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27890225/attributeerror-module-object-has-no-attribute-python for linux.QGIS usually has its own python to run, but if your system PATH has another python included (most likely
C:\Python27\), you might run into version conflicts.To sanitize your system, remove everything from QGIS (except the project files and data) including /qgis2 folder, and make a clean install.
