I've also got what may be a Solaris-related problem (at least, it's
happened on Solaris), so I'll piggyback.  I can compile Python just fine,
but the following happens when I try to import the socket module:

harper:~> tmp/python/bin/python 
Python 2.1 (#1, May 14 2001, 21:05:03) 
[GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] on sunos5
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import socket
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/tmp/scratch/python/lib/python2.1/socket.py", line 41, in ?
    from _socket import *
ImportError: ld.so.1: tmp/python/bin/python: fatal: libssl.so.0: open 
failed: No such file or directory
>>> 

There is a libssl.so.0 -- what do I have to do to enable Python to pick
it up?
