Passing Openssl to Python 2.7

[kromak]

Hi. I have been trying to build a certain program that requires Python 2.7 (Palemoon)
However, the building process fails right at its start. Some of the initial error messages:

Error:
ERROR:root:code for hash sha224 was not found.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/arquivos/Python-2.7.18/lib/python2.7/hashlib.py", line 147, in <module>
    globals()[__func_name] = __get_hash(__func_name)
  File "/arquivos/Python-2.7.18/lib/python2.7/hashlib.py", line 97, in __get_builtin_constructor
    raise ValueError('unsupported hash type ' + name)
ValueError: unsupported hash type sha224
ERROR:root:code for hash sha256 was not found.

This seems to be because Python was built without support of ssl.
So I would like to pass my Openssl to Python. However I did not find a way to do so. There are "--with-tcltk-includes" and "--with-tcltk-libs" options in configure, but they do not seem to work. (the test

checking for t_open in -lnsl

did not work when I passed the corresponding dirs of my Openssl installation)

Here's a list of currently available ssl, or ssl related packages (on PyPi): PyPi
It appears that the minimum version of python that was ever supported was 3.0.

And FYI from python.org:

Python 2.7 reached end-of-life in 2020 (the final release was 2.7.18 in April 2020), and Python.org no longer actively maintains or recommends it. However, the official installers, source code, and archives are still publicly available and hosted directly on python.org for legacy use.
