Problems with installing Python 3.11.1 using pyenv

Question

I tried to install Python 3.11.1 using Pyenv and got this:

➜  ~ pyenv install 3.11.1 
Downloading Python-3.11.1.tar.xz...
-> https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.1/Python-3.11.1.tar.xz
Installing Python-3.11.1...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/eustignos/.pyenv/versions/3.11.1/lib/python3.11/ssl.py", line 100, in <module>
    import _ssl             # if we can't import it, let the error propagate
    ^^^^^^^^^^^
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_ssl'
ERROR: The Python ssl extension was not compiled. Missing the OpenSSL lib?

OpenSSL is installed 2 different ways (using apt - latest for 22.10 and 2 with brew - 1.1 and 3) By default:

➜  ~ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.1s  1 Nov 2022
➜  ~ which openssl
/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/openssl

Solved this way:

➜  ~ CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)" pyenv install 3.11.1

And got the same message but for tkinter lib. Installed this by

➜  ~ brew install tcl-tk

And everything worked nice:

➜  ~ CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)" pyenv install 3.11.1
