However, I'm still convinced many would appreciate adding this ./configure option: https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/issues/1184#issuecomment-403149437 https://joshspicer.com/python37-ssl-issue https://superuser.com/questions/1428109/install-python-3-7-3-from-source-with-ssl-failed https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/88150/how-to-install-python-3-7-with-ssl https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53543477/building-python-3-7-1-ssl-module-failed https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000702772-Installing-a-custom-version-of-Python-3#3.7.1 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55928393/compile-python-3-6-statically-with-openssl https://readthisblog.net/2018/08/13/til-how-to-build-python-3-7-with-statically-linked-libssl-and-libcrypto/ https://gist.github.com/eddy-geek/9604982 If you look at the associated PR you will see it should work fine, and be useful, on other POSIX systems as well. I can test on *BSD if necessary. Only extra depedency of --with-openssl-static compared to --with-openssl is an assumption of existing files libssl.a libcrypto.a and OpenSSL has provided these files (when compiled static) since the very beginning despite somewhat frequent ABI changes. Option --with-openssl-static works with current libressl as well. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38794> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
