Yes, Python would need the OpenSSL headers in order to build with SSL support. There is an OpenSSL module, 
but it requires manual intervention to build: The build will stop. Select 4 to get a shell, run `make && make 
install_sw`, ^D to return to jhbuild, select 2 to skip building again and 2 again when it barfs on installing 
the man pages. Force-clean rebuild Python afterward to get the SSL support included.

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.
