Hi John, thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, Python would need the OpenSSL headers in order to build with SSL support. There is an OpenSSL module,

I'll try this, thanks!

But why do you want to use your gtk-osx python for running jhbuild? Once you've got the link fixed just 
use the Apple one.

The Apple one makes meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap fail for me, I see:

$ jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap
...
checking for python module libxml2... not found
configure: error: Python module libxml2 is needed to run this package
*** Error during phase configure of itstool: ########## Error running
./configure --prefix /Users/john/gtk/inst    *** [7/12]

I hoped the gtk-osx python would include this. And I remember (years
ago admittedly) gobject-introspection also had problems with the Apple
py. Perhaps that's fixed now.

Not quite. Yes, both itstool and gobject-introspection require a jhbuild-built python. Once it's built they 
(and every thing else in that jhbuild environment) use it because jhbuild puts $PREFIX first in $PATH. That 
doesn't mean that jhbuild itself needs to be run in that python.
