Not just the system Python on OSX, this also affects all Python.org http://python.org/ installers for OSX except 3.6. The 3.6 installer is the first one that doesn’t use the system installation of OpenSSL. Annoyingly with OpenSSL on OSX you have to options: either use an up-to-date release or have OpenSSL use the system CA trust store, but not both. Sigh…
I have no idea how may users use the Python.org http://python.org/ installers on OSX, but this has the potential to affect a largish number of users on OSX including newbies (but far from all users on OSX, there’s also a sizeable population using Homebrew or Anaconda).

Ah yea I forgot those :(
Could you file an issue on bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/ about this? That way Ned will get notified, and the use of system OpenSSL can be reconsidered for a future 2.7 release. Ronald
