It doesn't need OpenSSL, but recent versions of Python will use OpenSSL
if they find it *at build-time*. If things change --
eg. libssl.so.0.9.6 was on the system where you built Python, but not on
the system where you're running it -- then Python will be unable to load
the socket module, which Mailman is heavily dependent on.

Sun has a long and glorious history of shipping broken software. (Come
to think of it, so does every other computer manufacturer and software
company on the planet.) Try gcc -- I've never had a problem building
Python with gcc on Solaris.
