The support is in the source code, both for Unix and Windows. It is
not included in any of the binary distributions. For Unix, it is
relatively simple to recompile the socket module so that it uses
OpenSSL; for Windows (including NT) people have reported problems
doing so. In any case, you need a working copy of OpenSSL for your
target system, first.
