Test procedure that doesn't require 3rd-party libs:

• For Python 2:

$ python -c "import json, urllib2; print json.load(urllib2.urlopen('https://www.howsmyssl.com/a/check'))['tls_version']"

• For Python 3:

$ python3 -c "import json, urllib.request; print(json.loads(urllib.request.urlopen('https://www.howsmyssl.com/a/check').read().decod

Execute the following commands (sudo required)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openssl libssl-dev

This should really be a chef recipe...that needs to execute first before pip - otherwise the chef run fails.

Thank you
