How to install OpenSSL for Python

Question

I need to install OpenSSL on my python2.7.

I tried

$ pip install pyopenssl 

And I got the following

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'zip_safe'   warnings.warn(msg) running build running build_py running build_ext building 'OpenSSL.crypto' extension gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -g -O2 -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I/usr/local/include/python2.7 -c OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.o In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:17,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/x509.h:17:25: error: openssl/ssl.h: No such file or directory In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:17,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/x509.h:25: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘X509’ OpenSSL/crypto/x509.h:29: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘ASN1_TIME’ OpenSSL/crypto/x509.h:30: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘ASN1_TIME’ In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:18,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/x509name.h:27: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘X509_NAME’ In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:19,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/netscape_spki.h:24: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘NETSCAPE_SPKI’ In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:20,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/x509store.h:25: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘X509_STORE’ In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:21,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/x509req.h:25: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘X509_REQ’ In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:22,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/pkey.h:27: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘EVP_PKEY’ In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:23,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/x509ext.h:16:28: error: openssl/x509v3.h: No such file or directory In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:23,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/x509ext.h:28: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘X509_EXTENSION’ In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:24,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/pkcs7.h:15:27: error: openssl/pkcs7.h: No such file or directory In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:24,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/pkcs7.h:25: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘PKCS7’ In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:25,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/pkcs12.h:14:28: error: openssl/pkcs12.h: No such file or directory OpenSSL/crypto/pkcs12.h:15:26: error: openssl/asn1.h: No such file or directory In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:25,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/pkcs12.h:37: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:26,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/crl.h:14: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘X509_CRL’ OpenSSL/crypto/crl.h:17: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:27,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/revoked.h:12: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘X509_REVOKED’ OpenSSL/crypto/revoked.h:16: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:28,                  from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/../util.h:17:25: error: openssl/err.h: No such file or directory In file included from OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:15: OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:74: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:75: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:76: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:77: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:78: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:80: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.h:81: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c: In function ‘crypto_load_privatekey’: OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:78: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:82: error: ‘pem_password_cb’ undeclared (first use in this function) OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:82: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once OpenSSL/crypto/crypto.c:82: error: for each function it appears in.)

Does anybody know the reason?

SSL development libraries have to be installed

CentOS:

$ yum install openssl-devel libffi-devel 

Ubuntu:

$ apt-get install libssl-dev libffi-dev 

OS X (with Homebrew installed):

$ brew install openssl
