Answer 1

I think python has recognized that this is an issue: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2715/

Note

Attention macOS users: as of 2.7.15, all python.org macOS installers ship with a builtin copy of OpenSSL. Additionally, there is a new additional installer variant for macOS 10.9+ that includes a built-in version of Tcl/Tk 8.6. See the installer README for more information.

Simply installing 2.7.15 fixed my OpenSSL issues.
