Func init fails with dependency error requiring OpenSSL implementation on osx

Following the documentation for creating an azure function project, when I run the `func init MyFunctionProj --worker-runtime python` command I get the following error:

`\n\nDEPENDENCY ERROR\n\nThe target you are trying to run requires an OpenSSL implementation.\nYour system doesn't have one, and either the third_party directory\ndoesn't have it, or your compiler can't build BoringSSL.\n\nPlease consult INSTALL to get more information.\n\nIf you need information about why these tests failed, run:\n\n make run_dep_checks\n\n"
`

I have tried manually installing openssl but this error still persists.
