Regarding (3), there is already an openssl optional package, FWIW.
I think with (3) he meant: make it such that the flask-notebook works
without OpenSSL.
I believe the pyOpenSSL and openid flask plugin couldn't be installed
either, and of course, the notebook wouldn't have openid or https
support without openssl.
Of course, it's easier for us to do option (1). OpenSSL (not just the
libs, but the development headers) comes standard on OSX and many other
OSs, but Jeroen's testing has uncovered several systems that don't have
the OpenSSL dev headers installed by default.
I vote for option 1. We already require non-standard packages that
people need to install in order to compile or run Sage---this would just
add one more very standard dependency. If someone had a convincing
argument for how hard it is to install OpenSSL on a system that doesn't
have it installed already, I'm not absolutely fixed on option 1.
Thanks,
