Not building python socketmodule.c with openssl 1.0.2h

I am seeing an issue where we upgraded the openssl bitbake recipes to build and install openssl 1.0.2h in a higher layer than the base openembedded layer which was building openssl 1.0.1m. After this was done, the build of python 2.7.3 stopped building the socketmodule.c and ssl was not integrated into python. For example, the httplib object no longer has a reference for the HTTPSConnection object. I have spent some time digging around and cannot find anything that makes sense as to why this is happening. Is there anyone that has enough Python knowledge to know what might be causing this, or has run into this already and fixed it?

We are a little behind on Yocto (Daisy), but I don't know that that should be a problem.

Thank You,

This question should go to the "[email protected]" mailing list, or a list specific to the layers. (I have CC'd this list.)

Unfortunately I am not surprised by this. Daisy is quite old at this point. It was released in April of 2014. OpenSSL 1.0.2 was not released until January 2015. I doubt that the system, nor python 2.7.3 (as integrated) has any idea that version 1.0.2 exists.

You will likely need to look at backporting support from a newer version of python to support the 1.0.2 API.
