For unknown reasions your OpenSSL version doesn't support SHA-1. Please
try these two commands on the command line to check version and digest
support of your OpenSSL:

  $ echo -n '' | openssl dgst -sha1 -hex
  (stdin)= da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709

  $ openssl version
  OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014


Please also check which OpenSSL libcrypto is used by the _hashlib.so
shared library. On OSX otool -L should give a similar output as ldd on
Linux:

  $ otool -L
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_hashlib.so
