[issue38794] Setup: support linking openssl statically

[Christian Heimes]

I'm drawing a different conclusion from these posts. It sounds to me like people want a simple way to install a new version of Python on old distros and have a working ssl module. Static linking is one possible way to archive the goal. I argue that it is not necessarily the best way, especially in the light of OpenSSL 3.0.0, dynamic engines and the new crypto providers.
