Python 3.7 Mac needs a different way to compile with ssl

I’ve found pythonz can’t build 3.7 with ssl on Mac successfully.

The devguide (https://devguide.python.org/setup/) says:

with Homebrew:

$ brew install openssl xz
and configure python versions >= 3.7:

./configure --with-pydebug --with-openssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)
or configure python versions < 3.7:

$ CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include" \
  LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib" \
  ./configure --with-pydebug

Nice! This worked:

pythonz install 3.7.0 --configure="--with-pydebug --with-openssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)"

In case it helps anyone else: This always gets me, and I finally added a function in my .bash_profile that always adds these args:

function pythonz() {
  EXTRA_INSTALL_FLAGS="--with-pydebug --with-openssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)"
  if [[ "$1" == "install" ]]; then
    shift 1
    command pythonz install $1 --configure="$EXTRA_INSTALL_FLAGS"
  else
    command pythonz "$@"
  fi
}
