I have updated my Intel mac to Big Sur v11.0.1 and have a failing dependancy on one of my work projects. I do not use python so am unsure on how to progress with this bug. All of my other pip installs worked without troubles.
So when I run pip3 install pyOpenSSL, it fails on Using cached cryptography-3.2.1.tar.gz with the error:
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

I have seen a few issues in the repos such as this issue and this issue, but as I don't use python or pip often I am not sure what the root bug is or how to fix.
Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.
To unblock this bug, I have installed python 3.9 using the steps from the offical docs. In my project I then ran the commands.
# delete my venv folder first
python3.9 -m venv venv
pip install -r requirements.txt
All of the requirements (including pyOpenSSL) are now installing and working as expected.
I still an unable to get this working in python 3.8, so upgraded to 3.9.
