macOS Sequoia 15.0.1 -> pip install couchbase fails with... ssl1.1 missing error?

Python SDK
1

On a clean install of 15.0.1 (very latest as of writing), pip install couchbase fails. Haven’t tried on 15 GM but I suspect the same result. Worked for me up until 14.7

Just curious if:

  • anyone else has seen this?
  • if so was a workaround possible (without having to manually rebuild openssl1.1 which I’d like to avoid)
  • is there any hope this might work itself automagically in an upcoming patch or minor release?

Many thanks!

Hi @boovy – We don’t support Python 3.13 at the moment. See our Python Versions Compatibility docs for details on what is supported.

You can track PYCBC-1613 for Python 3.13 support. We hope to provide support in for Python 3.13 in the near future.

I hope this helps.

Thanks @jcasey, I used virtualenv to standup Python 3.12 and everything just works again.
