Comment (by fdupont):

 Replying to [comment:2 cas]:
 > It is possible to compile Python (3) without _ssl, so OpenSSL is not
 required.

 => to have to recompile Python to remove the OpenSSL dependency is perhaps
 not the easiest way...

 > I agree the on standard (Linux) installations, OpenSSL is almost always
 there and is pulled in as an dependency to Python3, but in some
 environments a minimal installation is required for security audit
 reasons, and there it would be good to be able to have a BIND 10
 installation without OpenSSL in addition to Botan.

 => if you want to go through a security audit the current _ssl usage
 should be reconsidered first.
 BTW I believed it was a temporary solution?
