Unable to import module 'main': cannot import name 'DEFAULT_CIPHERS' from 'urllib3.util.ssl_' on deploying the solution

The CDK install runs into

Received response status [FAILED] from custom resource. Message returned: Error: Unable to import module 'main': cannot import name 'DEFAULT_CIPHERS' from 'urllib3.util.ssl_' (/var/task/urllib3/util/ssl_.py)
Logs: /aws/lambda/DocumentSplitterWorkflow-LambdaConfigurationPrefil-ZGDSfaU5CpWR

on the LambdaConfigurationPrefill custom resource.

This resembles the error widely reported in relation to urllib3 in issues like psf/requests#6443 , aws/aws-lambda-base-images#98 and boto/boto3#3714. Is there already a workaround available for this project?

@alexhafner i think as a temp solution you can try to pin urllib3 and related packages like requests to specific versions
