Hi, look at https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/issues/945, it's because Debian 9 uses OpenSSL 1.1.0 which support in CPython was added in 3.5.3 (more details in the issue above). Cheers

@dstyp, are you trying to install a version < 3.5.3? If so I don't know, else the above answers (CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/openssl LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib pyenv install -v 3.5.3) should work.

uber1geek
on 29 Sep 2017
@uber1geek the problem turned out to be the openssl hadn't actually successfully installed (even though homebrew reported that it had). run brew uninstall openssl && brew install openssl && CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include" LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib" pyenv install 3.6.2

Mac OS X 10.13 (High Sierra) uses LibreSSL 2.2.7 but doesnt include the C headers necessary to compile the SSL extension for python. I know of no Apple-provided method to get them installed (via XCode or whatever else). To get this working without homebrew or any other shenanigans (assuming you have pyenv installed and working properly);
curl -O https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/libressl-2.2.7.tar.gztar xvf libressl-2.2.7.tar.gzCFLAGS="-I./libressl-2.2.7/include" pyenv install 3.6.3(or whatever other version)
(post edit)
I believe that pyenv is supposed to install openssl as necessary on Mac OS X in order to make the whole pyenv install process work properly. That is probably the real issue here, but the above steps appear to work around the problem for now.

Had the same issue on Scientific Linux release 6.9 (Carbon). Following the instructions in the wiki didn't quite solve the problem. Solved it like @Beenhakker, except that I also added sqlite:

CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include -I$(brew --prefix sqlite)/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib -L$(brew --prefix sqlite)/lib" \

I have mac os Sierra 10.13.4, openssl version LibreSSL 2.2.7, python 3.6.5 and 2.7.10, but I can not install everything via pip(3) install ... because "There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: [SSL: UNKNOWN_PROTOCOL] unknown protocol". Do you have any solutions for this?

At this point I've decided pyenv isn't worth the hassle. Activating a virtual environment using %source bin/activate is not a struggle, but getting pyenv to work properly is.
justinjdickow

@justinjdickow I highly recommend checking out pipenv If you haven’t already. Besides managing your python environments, it also produces and maintains a lock file.

The same for me on Ubuntu 18.04. Installing Python 2.7.5 only worked after I removed libssl-dev and installed libssl1.0-dev afterwards. Then a simple pyenv install 2.7.5 worked as expected.

python version 3.7.2
I had to collectively try all of the above. What worked for me is:
In your .bash_profile OR .zshrc
First:
export CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include" \
export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib" \
Second: (make sure you have brew openssl installed)
brew install python
brew install pyenv
Lastly:
pyenv install -v 3.7.2
Good luck!

Had the same issue when installing python 2.7.10 running OS X 15.1 (Catalina). The problem is that the openssl version provided by brew ([email protected]) is not compatible for compiling python 2.7.10. Support for OpenSSL 1.1.x, was only added in Python 2.7.13, 3.5.3 and 3.6.0.
Since it wasn't possible to downgrade to [email protected] using brew I had to remove the openssl version provided by brew and after that pyenv automatically downloaded openssl 1.0.2 to compile python.
EDIT: This solution may cause some issues when using libraries depending on openssl (i.e hashlib)
I found the way to install openssl 1.0 using brew:
brew install https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/releases/download/v1.0.0/openssl.rb

Support for OpenSSL 1.1.x, was only added in Python 2.7.13, 3.5.3 and 3.6.0
So to install Python 3.5.2 on Mac I had to do the following:
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies [email protected]
pyenv install 3.5.2

I believe the issue here is that python <= 3.5.2 needs openssl 1.0. Homebrew removed openssl 1.0 recently (https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/46454). I suspect installing anything v3.5.3 or greater will work, but anything older than that won't compile with openssl 1.1.

@afrancht What worked for me was: brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl then installing python. In my case I was using asdf, but I think python will install its own version of openssl if you do that.

I follwed the directions from Pyenv Wiki meticulously several times. Still, THIS DOES NOT WORK. Support, ideas, or condolences are accepted.
I reset my ENV with

THen clean up my ~/.zshrc file. Currently, Looks like this:

eval "$(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib=$HOME/perl5)"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"
Then reset my shell with
source ~/.zshrc
Next I installed pyenv doctor with
$ git clone git://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-doctor.git $(pyenv root)/plugins/pyenv-doctor

@dstyp, are you trying to install a version < 3.5.3? If so I don't know, else the above answers (

This is still valid!

Removing ssl from brew via brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies [email protected]

Also worked for me. I did have other libraries which depend on 1.1 so I just reinstalled it after getting python installed.
Is this something which could be added to pyenv to ignore openssl 1.1 for version of python which don't support it?

To summarize the "fix" for folks on Mac OSX needing any version of python < 3.5.1.
Steps are:
- Uninstall [email protected], since you cannot compile python versions prior to 3.5.1 with openssl 1.1. Homebrew removed [email protected], so you can't install it anymore
- Install your python version (using 2.7.16 as example here)
- Reinstall [email protected]
brew uninstall --force --ignore-dependencies [email protected] && \
pyenv install -v 2.7.16 && \
brew install [email protected]
I found a much nicer way (could have been on this thread or elsewhere) which means you don't need to uninstall openssl. There is an environment variable you can use to specify which open ssl to use. I was able to use the following to install 3.4.4. Hope that helps someone.
[email protected] pyenv install 3.4.4

Uninstall and reinstalling openssl worked for 3.5.2 but not 3.4.4.

The closest I've got is https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/issues/950#issuecomment-624131159
My issue is that that pip never gets installed. A python without pip is not that useful if you need dependencies.
The tail end of my output indicates an permissions issue with an directory /lib which seems like an odd directory I'm used to something more like /usr/lib

To install python 2.6.x. in MacOS Catalina I mixed two posted solutions in the thread. What follows is the result that worked for me:
brew install --force https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/releases/download/v1.0.0/openssl.rb
CFLAGS="-I$/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t/include"
LDFLAGS="-L$/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t/lib"
brew uninstall --force --ignore-dependencies [email protected]
pyenv install -v 2.6.6
/Users/<user>/.pyenv/versions/2.6.6/bin/python <-- Now is installed and works!
brew install openssl
I hope it works for you. 💪

OpenSSL 1.1.x, was only added inPython 2.7.13, 3.5.3 and 3.6.0.
Found this and finally give up installing Python 2.7.11 and switch to Python 2.7.13 because I have OpenSSL 1.1.1g installed.
But pyenv install 2.7.13 still does not work, I had to use wget -P $(pyenv root)/cache https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.13/Python-2.7.13.tar.xz before pyenv install 2.7.13
Finally it works. By the way, I'm using Cent OS 7 and the error is ERROR: The Python ssl extension was not compiled. Missing the OpenSSL lib?

I can't get this to work on MacOS 10.15.6 either. This is the command I used to install 3.7.5:
CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib" pyenv install -v 3.7.5

issue seems to be around OpenSSL / libssl-dev version
under Ubuntu 14.04 after doing apt-get update && apt-get install libssl-dev I see:
Step 3/18 : RUN openssl version -a
---> Running in 6c1258406a98
OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
and the Python 3.8.6 install fails with the error from this issue
Upgrading the container to Ubuntu 18 gives:
Step 3/18 : RUN openssl version -a
---> Running in dd26ca4d216f
OpenSSL 1.1.1 11 Sep 2018
and the Python install succeeds

I found a much nicer way (could have been on this thread or elsewhere) which means you don't need to uninstall openssl. There is an environment variable you can use to specify which open ssl to use. I was able to use the following to install 3.4.4. Hope that helps someone.
[email protected] pyenv install 3.4.4
Very helpful! I was able to use this method to install 2.7.18 on macOS 10.15.7:
[email protected] pyenv install 2.7.18

@dstyp, are you trying to install a version < 3.5.3? If so I don't know, else the above answers (
CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/openssl LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib pyenv install -v 3.5.3) should work.
