Python 3.7 Mac needs a different way to compile with ssl #135
Description
I've found pythonz can't build 3.7 with ssl on Mac successfully.
The devguide (https://devguide.python.org/setup/) says:
with Homebrew:
$ brew install openssl xz
and configure python versions >= 3.7:
./configure --with-pydebug --with-openssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)
or configure python versions < 3.7:
$ CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib" \
./configure --with-pydebug

In case it helps anyone else: This always gets me, and I finally added a function in my
.bash_profilethat always adds these args:izumiberat commentedon Jun 9, 2022
Hi, I installed Python 3.10.4 on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7.
I am following the same instructions as indicated in this issue and I get the following error when executing :
./configure --with-pydebug --with-openssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)Result :
zsh: no such file or directory: ./configureIt tries to look for that file here : /usr/local/opt/openssl@3
Should I simply create a file named "configure"?
I tried the suggested commands too, but I get a similar error message.
Thanks for your help.

@izumiberat did you try
pythonz install 3.10.4 --configure="--with-pydebug --with-openssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)"izumiberat commentedon Jun 9, 2022
Thank you for your help @ifduyue, running the command in the cpython directory resolved the issue.
