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 I'm aware that Ubuntu 18.04 is now somewhat out of date, but I would expect a simple configure & make dance to succeed.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. -- Robin Becker
