[issue29480] Mac OSX Installer SSL Roots

+1 This would be really helpful.  I occasionally get entire rooms full of Mac users with a fresh install of Python 3.6 who immediately get stuck with something as simple as:

   urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.python.org').read()

The error messages that pop up are decidedly unhelpful.  This is especially mystifying because the original request uses "http" and the site itself redirects to "https".
