- It gets increasingly difficult to work with the system's
  Python (and pip) that's linked with a pretty ancient version of
  libssl.  So build an own Python with a newer openssl version.

- pyOpenSSL was probably pinned to version 0.13 by requirements of
  Pegasus, which are now obsolete, so is the pinning

- If pyssl_from=tarball, pyOpenSSL 0.13 and matching openssl-1.01p
  will be installed. Otherwise openssl-1.0.2l will be compiled and
  the latest available versiomn of pyOpenSSL will b einstalled (via
  pip).

- Python compilation: rehash to make sure to use the newly built
  versions of python and pip, check for dbhas early as if it's
  missing, something must have gone wrong already during Pythoni
  compilation / installation

`PyCBC <https://ligo-cbc.github.io>`_ is a software package used to explore astrophysical sources of gravitational waves. It contains algorithms to analyze gravitational-wave data from the LIGO and Virgo detectors, detect coalescing compact binaries, and measure the astrophysical parameters of detected sources. PyCBC was used in the `first direct detection of gravitational waves <https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.061102>`_ and is used in the flagship analysis of LIGO and Virgo data.

PyCBC is developed collaboratively and lead by a team of LIGO scientists with the aim to build accessible tools for gravitational-wave data analysis. One of the easiest ways to get a full software environment is by `downloading one of our docker images. <https://ligo-cbc.github.io/pycbc/latest/html/docker.html>`_

Some interactive examples using portions of the PyCBC library are also hosted as jupyter notebooks on Microsoft Azure. `Feel free to give them a try. <https://notebooks.azure.com/nitz/libraries/pycbc>`_  You can also explore the `full documentation pages <https://ligo-cbc.github.io/pycbc/latest/html/index.html>`_ or the `source code on GitHub. <https://github.com/ligo-cbc/pycbc>`_ 

If you use PyCBC in scientific publications, please see our `citation guidelines. <https://ligo-cbc.github.io/pycbc/latest/html/credit.html>`_
