Two relevant quotes regarding Macs:

"the system Python shipped with MacOS does not yet support TLSv1.2 in any MacOS version;" (and notes on installing current Python 2.7 or 3.6 alongside the system version)

"Python's TLS implementation is falling behind on macOS is that Python continues to use OpenSSL, which Apple has stopped updating on macOS." It's unclear what the fix for this is going to end up being.

Is there some reason why `brew install python` doesn't work? (I do this on every system, and mine is TLS 1.2)

Otherwise, if you're bundling stuff to give to an end user, bundle up Python, since Apple seems intent on letting most of the core utils (not just Python) bitrot?


I get TLS 1.2 with Python 2.7.13 installed via homebrew.
