Your configure script did pick up openssl as the support version was not found.
What is your operating system? Make sure you have supported version of ssl. Python requires openssl 1.1.1 or higher.
....... I tried to build this on ubuntu 18.04, but got the _ssl problem; it definitely has openssl 1.1.1 installed. On updated Arch linux no issue.
during configure I see that compiling and linking against openssl works.
with the simplest ./configure --prefix=$HOME/LOCAL/3.10.0 I find _ssl is not importable (_socket is).
If I try setting --with-openssl-rpath I get _ssl importable, but it fails because _socket is not importable.
It's not a big deal as I can install python 3.10.0 using deadsnakes-ubuntu-ppa-bionic ppa.
I think the problem here is that I don't seem to have a single openssl root
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1 /usr/include/openssl/
This all used to work in Python 3.9.x, but I suppose some improvement(s) have been made.
For PEP 644 I added new instructions how to build Python 3.10 with custom OpenSSL builds. The instructions should work on all major Linux distributions. They have been tested on Debian-like and Fedora-like platforms: https://docs.python.org/3/using/unix.html?highlight=openssl#custom-openssl
