This may be related to this issue? #160 (Also tried to install using --use-pep517 and using older versions of pip.

Installing collected packages: ssh2-python
  DEPRECATION: ssh2-python is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

I dug into this issue a bit more and it seems that the CMakeLists.txt needs to be configured to be able to find OpenSSL. When I ran that following I was able to install the package:

OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR="/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/" pip install ssh2-python

Thanks @adithyabsk!

This works for me as well on macOS-13.3-arm64-arm-64bit with Python 3.11.2.
