Python is not compiled with https support

[sethhillbrand]

Start the python console. Type the following:

import urllib2
ret = urllib2.urlopen("https://www.google.com")

The return is

  File "/private/var/folders/h0/t3ynppn131jcvc9m8jcs38vr0000gn/T/AppTranslocation/5EA69F86-BCC4-4198-B6B4-8F54596E31B2/d/kicad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1266, in unknown_open
    raise URLError('unknown url type: %s' % type)
URLError: <urlopen error unknown url type: https>

I'll put checking this in the python3 migration requirements.

I think this may be a dupe of #226

[sethhillbrand]

Oh bummer, it does appear the same. I'll have to look at what the issue in #226 is to see if I can understand it.

We're going to need SSL support in v6 as we implement various internet-enabled plugins for manufacture and BOM lookup

[adamwolf]

So for Python 2, it was really, really, really tricky to build a Python 2 distribution that is relocatable *and* as a Framework. I ended up using a blog post from ‎Armin Ronacher, and IIRC he never got the SSL stuff to work right. There have been various advances in Python 3 for macOS that make it easier, as far as I can tell, so I am hoping that this problem just drops out when we get that going.

After a bit of testing (I really needed the SSL working for a bit), I've found that if I copy the homebrew Python2 Framework over the KiCad framework, this all works. I'm not sure what they do differently but we might be able to borrow it for Python3
