OpenSsl can lead to weird problems with python, brew, and Mac OS X. It all boils down to making sure openssl is pointing to brew's version of openssl, as opposed to your system's version (the default that ships with your OS).

Solved this guy by running the following:

brew link --force openssl

You should see some scary message like 1139 symlinks created, but not to worry. It's just doing what it does.

This of course assumes you've already got the openssl brew package installed. Chances are...it's already there.

Some articles suggest you install a missing python package. I forget the name of if, but I'd recommend you stick to this solution. It doesn't involve running some arbitrary python script that is doing gosh knows what to your system.

This is probably what --with-brewed-openssl does, so do check that as well....bit more straight forward.

After "brew link --force openssl", I re-ran brew install python --with-brewed-openssl, and it finally resolved an issue for me.

@mihgen you saved me on LinuxBrew.

wow, I don't know what happened but had an issue, ran brew link --force openssl and my system was back to normal. Thanks @mihgen!
