Open source is very often distributed as source tarballs that contain
installation instructions. So:

Download archive - extract - read files named INSTALL, README, ...

Repeating the advice you have from some other posters:
You have to install both OpenSSL (the library) and
pyOpenSSL (so python can use the library).

I'd guess "config" is local module related to your system setup.
Nothing with that name comes with Python or pyOpenSSL.

After installing pyOpenSSL have a look at

pyOpenSSL-0.6/examples/SecureXMLRPCServer.py
