Unfortunately I don't have a custom openssl installation although it may not appear/behave as the python configuration wants.
I am using the officially approved installed version of openssl so far as I know. I'm aware that Ubuntu 18.04 is now somewhat out of date, but I would expect a simple configure & make dance to succeed.
I'm working with linux for dummies(self) and need to install/update/upgrade openssl, libssl-dev. After that _ssl _hashlib are compiled and importable. I suppose the configure 'compiling with openssl' test is a bit naive.
We use the standard AX_CHECK_OPENSSL() m4 macro from autoconf-archive to detect OpenSSL. The macro uses pkg-config to detect OpenSSL. It doesn't check for specific version, though. We don't want to prevent people with outdated OpenSSL or LibreSSL from building Python without ssl support. Christian
