Using system python does not work anymore due to bootstrap using TLS v1 on pypi.

The code above is my best attempt. I am happy to be told wrong

The system Python works for me:

This is on Mojave 10.14.6. I may very well have installed extra ssl stuff with brew.

Are you on Mojave or the new Mac OS Catalina?

Your new instructions are fine too though. Maybe add them as alternative option?

@mauritsvanrees I am still under Sierra 😕 I guess that might be the reason it fails for me. One more sign that I should upgrade !

Would it be useful to change the PR as an option for people lagging behind like me ?

Or just confusing because you should be on latest Mac OS ?

mauritsvanrees commented 4 years ago

For me, buildout.python exists for situations where your OS platform gives you a too new or too old Python. So you should not have to be on the latest OS either.

Several commands can fail for dozens of reasons, including a too old OS and a too new OS. So fine for me to rewrite this to an extra option in case other options fail.

Since a few months I have a new laptop, and I decided to try without buildout.python. I use pyenv. And I guess a Python from brew as well.

BTW, on Travis I see failures like this:

Error: Couldn't find a distribution for 'buildout.extensionscripts'.

We may need to add index = https://pypi.org/simple to buildout.cfg.

The bootstrap script should take care of the dependencies, instead.
