Pavel Machyniak added the comment:

Unfortunately this patch will not work if there is other (system) openssl 
installed in the default locations (`/usr/include`, `/usr/lib`) because this 
patch only add another path at the end of the search list.

Instead of this  I will make a ticket for providing configuration option for 
controlling the `openssl` (`--with-ssl=PATH`) and I will propose the solution 
(patch for current `configure` and `setup.py`). This way the user can 
explicitly provide the path for `openssl` and there is no need to search for 
one.

I think it is important to fix this because there is a lot of people having 
problem compiling `python` with custom `openssl`, eg.:
