Further research (sorry I posted first before doing it) reveals that 
the libraries are where setup.py is looking for them:

setup.py contains:
         lib_dirs = self.compiler.library_dirs + ['/lib', '/usr/lib']
         inc_dirs = self.compiler.include_dirs + ['/usr/include']
...
	ssl_incs = find_file('openssl/ssl.h', inc_dirs,...
         ssl_libs = find_library_file(self.compiler, 'ssl',lib_dirs,...

and doing a search, I found these files on my disk:

/usr/include/openssl/ssl.h
/usr/lib/libssl.dylib

Any idea? I assume find_library_file should have found 
"libssl.dylib"? I'm pretty sure my build does not have ssl, based on:
