[Python-ideas] bump version of openssl (was "adding digital signature and encryption 'hashes' to hashlib?")

Right now the version of openssl shipping with python is 9.8, where version 1.0 was released some months back and provides access to EVP_PKEY_CTX, which is useful in interacting with the public key interface now provided by evp. Would it be possible to bump it up to 1.0, or is that prohibitively difficult? Geremy Condra
