 A proposal for discussion; this may not be the best idea, but I thought
 I'd bring it up.

 OpenSSL's license negatively impacts the usefulness of the binary
 distribution process within MacPorts. I propose moving openssl support to
 a non-default variant within the pythonNN ports.

 I believe OpenSSL can be disabled (so it won't even grab system versions)
 with one line in setup.py. In python27's version, by simply adding
 {{{ssl_libs = None}}} at line 753.

 See [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 dev/2011-November/016834.html this thread] for some discussion of OpenSSL
 and MacPorts binary distribution recently...
