`Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.` when OpenSSL_jll is loaded before Wandb.

On a fresh Julia 1.10 install in a clean environment, the reproducer below causes the error:

ERROR: LoadError: Python: CommError: Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.

Interestingly, this error only appears when Wandb is loaded after CairoMakie.

using CairoMakie: CairoMakie
using Wandb: Wandb

# trigger ssl error
function provoke_error(logger)
    logging_dict = Dict{String,Any}()
    logging_dict["samples"] = Wandb.Image(CairoMakie.scatter(randn(100)))
    Wandb.log(logger, logging_dict; step=1)
end

logger = Wandb.WandbLogger(; project="test")
provoke_error(logger)

The offender seems to be OpenSSL_jll. The following will also trigger the issue:

using OpenSSL_jll
using Wandb: Wandb

# trigger ssl error
function provoke_error(logger)
    logging_dict = Dict{String,Any}()
    logging_dict["samples"] = Wandb.Image(rand(2, 2))
    Wandb.log(logger, logging_dict; step=1)
end


logger = Wandb.WandbLogger(; project="test")
provoke_error(logger)

Downgrading OpenSSL_jll to v1 seems to fix the issue. I don't think that should be the permanent solution but can be a workaround for now.

I have opened PR's in the relevant upstream packages:

• Require a compatible openssl version JuliaPy/PythonCall.jl#523
• Align openssl version with OpenSSL_jll version JuliaPy/CondaPkg.jl#140

Given that there's nothing else that we can do here, let me close this one.

Fixed as per the PRs above
