AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name' about petlib

I now received a contribution from Panos Louridas, patching building for OSX. Would you like to try again installing petlib from the repository?

Hello -- given the error I suspect that the C library binding petlib to openssl did not build correctly. To be honest OSX is not a platform I have tested the build against. However, my students do use petlib with OSX homebrew so I will ask them to write a proper installation recipe.

Ok, that sounds legit. I had to use some global flags for the compiler in order to find the openssl headers on OSX.

pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include" petlib

I also tried to use homebrew openssl, but without success. An installation recipe for OSX would be great!

Regards, Sebastian

Works for me now! OSX 10.11.6

Awesome!
