Multiple python versions on Mac
I had MacOS Mojave. It needed multiple versions of pythons esp. I needed a version of Python between 2.6.x and 3.0.x. I came across this nice article

I followed all steps but when I tried to install 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 I ran into this issue.
ERROR: The Python ssl extension was not compiled. Missing the OpenSSL lib?
I had openssl installed but it seems it was not the version it was looking for. Eventually I was able to install python version 2.7.15. Looks like 2.7.15 was using the openssl lib which I had it installed hence no issues.
bash-3.2$ pyenv install 2.7.15
python-build: use openssl@1.1 from homebrew
python-build: use readline from homebrew
