Answer 1

SOLVED NO HACKS, none of the above worked for me. I ended up taking a simpler and uncomplicated approach....

1. Install python 2.7.13 from the official site, it actually installs as the default python, automatically upgrading the old python system wide ( yes! ).

https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/

2. Upgrade openssl after the python install. Updating it for system python ( yes! ).

sudo pip install --upgrade pyOpenSSL

3. You will have to re-install all your python modules ( because you replaced python ), I strongly recommend using pip. After a few minutes of pip installs my default OSX python was upgraded, I had openssl upgraded, and I had all my modules ( including django running ).
