My brew OpenSSL version is 1.0.2l and my Python OpenSSL version is 9.8. I've been trying to solve this issue for hours now. I've tried changing the path in the .bash profile, I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling 

python --with-brewed-openssl

I've updated/upgraded/pruned/doctored brew, I've tried linking openssl with the following command

brew link openssl --force

but that results in this error for both 1.0.2l and 1.0.1f,

Linking keg-only openssl means you may end up linking against the 
insecure,
deprecated system OpenSSL while using the headers from Homebrew's 
openssl.
Instead, pass the full include/library paths to your compiler e.g.:
-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib

I've tried creating symlinks for certain files (although I'm not sure what this was really doing) ... I don't know what else to try. My python version is 2.7.13_1.

As Homebrew tells you, OpenSSL is deprecated and insecure; that’s why it prevents you from linking it.

The only solution you have left is to build Python from source and pass it additional flags at the ./configure step, as suggested by the Homebrew error message.
