This trac query https://trac.sagemath.org/query?order=id&desc=1&summary=~scproxy lists this ticket https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/17174 where we learn that This Python module is required by Cython. > Since I think several people have had trouble with zlib on MacOS, > especially since 10.14, we should probably add "zlib" to the above > list, as it's certainly necessary for the Python "zlib" module to be > available. I would suggest we also go ahead and add "ssl" as well. I > don't think there's any reason anymore to not build Python with SSL > support, and many people do so anyways without realizing it and then > complain when they can't `pip install` anything. > > Perhaps as a middle ground the spkg-build could take an optional > environment variable to *not* require SSL, but I would require it by > default... > > - > > [1] https://gitlab.com/sagemath/sage/blob/master/build/pkgs/python3/spkg-build#L108 Python 2.7.16 was released 2019-03-04, and that release's page at https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2716/ has the following note about OpenSSL: > Attention macOS users: As of 2.7.16, all current python.org macOS installers > ship with builtin copies of OpenSSL and !Tcl/Tk 8.6. > See the installer README for more information. If Python does it, can we also ship OpenSSL with our macOS binaries? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
