That output is normal. Have you tried running brew install openssl followed by brew link --force openssl and then brew install python. The following thread helps describe the issue https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/40516

As for workaround, try downgrading your Python to 2.7.9 like:

brew switch python 2.7.9

by overriding the existing one, as it seems there is some particular problem with 2.7.10. Then re-link it again (if required).

Also make sure your PYTHONPATH is correct (you don't override it anywhere in your startup files).
