OpenSSL version restriction outdated

[wilf-phasecraft]

Just raising this as a new issue, as the previous thread was a question, so I'm aware that my response might not be seen.

I believe Julia now uses a more up to date version of OpenSSL, which is now causing problems when installing certain packages with JuliaCall/PythonCall.

In short, the following error is commonly encountered (on Linux at least)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/wilf/.julia/packages/PythonCall/WMWY0/src/JlWrap/module.jl", line 27, in seval
    return self._jl_callmethod($(pyjl_methodnum(pyjlmodule_seval)), expr)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

during initialization of module OpenSSL_jll

To reproduce:

1. Create a new python venv using python3.12 -m venv .venv
2. pip install juliacall (by default this installs Julia 1.11.5)
3. Start python and run

>> from juliacall import Main as jl
>> from juliapkg import add, resolve
>> add("Yao", "5872b779-8223-5990-8dd0-5abbb0748c8c") # other packages with OpenSSL deps also cause the error
>> resolve()
>> jl.seval("using Yao")

Info: Python: 3.12.10 Julia: 1.11.5 OS: Linux

Looks like a version mismatch of OpenSSL between Python and Julia. I think JuliaPy/pyjuliapkg#55 should fix this. Can you try it out (see the description in the PR for how) and let me know?

[wilf-phasecraft]

Great! I'll try it out, thank you

[cjdoris]

Great! I'll try it out, thank you

I've actually merged and released it and released PythonCall/JuliaCall so you can just update to.try it out.
