Failed to compile python 2.7.9 with pyenv on Arch Linux.

Hi,

I try to compile python 2.7.9 with pyenv on arch linx with the
following command:

$ pyenv install 2.7.9
Installing Python-2.7.9...
patching file ./Lib/site.py
patching file ./Lib/ssl.py
ERROR: The Python ssl extension was not compiled. Missing the OpenSSL lib?

Please consult to the Wiki page to fix the problem.

Any hints for this issue?
