  <p>I have: OS X 10.11.3, no Homebrew. Xcode is installed. Xcode Command Line Tools are installed. </p>
  
  <p>Everything goes well until <code>make install</code> has run for a while. Then it quits with this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>if test "xupgrade" != "xno"  ; then \
          case upgrade in \
              upgrade) ensurepip="--upgrade" ;; \
              install|*) ensurepip="" ;; \
          esac; \
           ./python.exe -E -m ensurepip \
              $ensurepip --root=/ ; \
      fi
  Ignoring ensurepip failure: pip 7.1.2 requires SSL/TLS
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have been searching for a long time and all I can find are instructions for Homebrew or for Apache or other servers. I understand that I've got to get SSL/TLS on my system, but I've had no luck.</p>
  
  <p>The biggest reason I don't want Homebrew is that I want non-CS students to follow the same procedure, and I don't want them to install Homebrew. </p>
