I really struggled to get docker-compose
installed on my machine. By default the mac does not include pip so I opted to install python using brew. I then tried to install docker-compose and had issues with an incompatible requests (See issue). After switching to a different version of requests, I ran into issues with openssl (See issue.
Ultimately I removed brew's version of python and did the following:
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install docker-compose==1.1.0-rc2
sudo pip uninstall requests
sudo pip install requests==2.4.3
