Not just the system Python on OSX, this also affects all Python.org
<http://python.org/> installers for OSX except 3.6. The 3.6 installer is the
first one that doesn’t use the system installation of OpenSSL. Annoyingly with
OpenSSL on OSX you have to options: either use an up-to-date release or have
OpenSSL use the system CA trust store, but not both. Sigh…
I have no idea how may users use the Python.org <http://python.org/> installers
on OSX, but this has the potential to affect a largish number of users on OSX
including newbies (but far from all users on OSX, there’s also a sizeable
population using Homebrew or Anaconda).
