the problem is that python's configure equivalent is far too magical in 
nature and will auto-detect what dependencies it can find and then 
enable the corresponding modules.

for some reason the internal python cannot find the OpenSSL library 
(either on system or internal, depending on --with-system-openssl) and 
thus it did not build the ssl module and the earliest point where we can 
detect failure is that the file doesn't exsit when trying to copy it to 
instdir.

try to figure out from the workdir/UnpackedTarball/python3/build.log why 
OpenSSL isn't found.

that should be unrelated.
