[issue36559] "import random" should import hashlib on demand (nor load OpenSSL)

This is not true at the moment, the _sha512 module is not present when openssl is missing. This is a bug in setup.py that prevents building the _sha512 module when openssl is missing. See issue 36544.

It is possible that this issue (since it started because of hashlib failures) and also issue 36414 are caused by this problem.
