Bug report

Bug description:

On a CentOS system python-3.11.8 is installed from the source tarball.

However, pip fails to install any packages because the ssl module is missing.

Why doesn’t --with-openssl=/usr trigger install the ssl module?

This leaves the Python installation almost unusable because pip refuses to install the ssl module because the ssl module is missing.

CPython versions tested on:

3.11

Operating systems tested on:

Linux
