> But you're also left with not being able to 'import hashlib'. While python has fallback code, those modules (_md5, _sha, _sha256, _sha512) aren't built if openssl was found at build time. So you can't just select at runtime that you didn't want to use openssl.

Agreed. Could you file a bug report, in case there isn't one yet?
