Can this failure be suppressed in the Makefile (given that I know what I'm doing)?

So right now pip doesn’t work without TLS, we’re working on that and our 1.6 release should have that. I *thought* that Nick (I think?) had made it so that you just didn’t get pip if you didn’t have TLS enabled, but apparently not. You can suppress this by doing ``ENSUREPIP=no make install``, but probably this should just print a warning instead of dying when TLS isn’t available. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA

Right, I think this is a genuine bug in the ensurepip CLI mode. http://bugs.python.org/issue19744 was still pending with Tim (to see if it solved the original problem), but we need to more gracefully handle the error at the CLI level as well.

To follow up, Ned diagnosed this for me off-list. The cause was my recent upgrade to Mavericks, which causes the Xcode 5 command line tools to be installed differently. In case others have the same issue, the solution was to run: xcode-select --install (and accept the dialog box it pops up). This is a common issue with Mavericks and open-source projects (not just Python); Ned will add something to the README. --Guido On Tue, Feb 11, 2014 at 2:22 PM, Ned Deily <nad@acm.org> wrote:

As a side note, you shouldn't have to configure OpenSSL to build any of the current branches of Python on OS X systems. It should build gracefully with the Apple-supplied headers and libssl/libcrypto, modulo possible deprecation warnings in the recent releases of OS X.
