you have the openssl-dev package installed on your system

I guess it's due to the binary not being built with ssl module. During build
did you get a message like below ?
Could not build the ssl module!
Python requires an OpenSSL 1.0.2 or 1.1 compatible libssl with
X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host().
Ammar Askar added the comment:
As the error says:
> Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.
Since you built it from source, you should check your build logs, the _ssl
module likely failed to build. You're most probably missing the openssl
dependency.

environment was created with python3.8 -m venv venvrh. When attempting to use
pip to install a package, the following error was encountered:
