Probably your python lives in /usr/local/bin. Try to run:

/usr/local/bin/python

ALso, try to use socket module: I bet it is broken!
If so, you may need to put this:

#define NO_IDEA

into file /usr/include/openssl/evp.h
just before third line of code, that is, before this:

#ifdef  __cplusplus

If you want to have python in /usr/bin, you need to
./configure --prefix=/usr

BUT BE WARNED: some program could stop working!
