ImportError for ssl

[PapaTutuWawa]

When I try to import ssl using a simple import statement, e.g. import ssl, I get the error thrown that _ssl could not be found. Even when I add openssl to the requirements, the import error's still there.

I also tried changing the recipe for hostpython2 (In order to compile with SSL and crypto), but I get errors during the compiling process (Undefined references).

I'm wondering if that's an error of the recipe or a mistake I made

I found a solution:
In the recipe for python2, the patch enable-ssl.patch is missing.

Is this broken in master? Would you like to make a PR to apply your fix?

[PapaTutuWawa]

It appears so; I will push my changes to my fork and then create a PR

@Polynomdivision do you have the same traceback as in #850 ?

If I remember correctly (because I deleted everything after I fixed this issue for myself), then it was not an issue with loading libraries. It was just that _ssl was not found. And after some digging around, I found out that no "compiled" python file for (I guess it was called like this; I don't remember anymore) _ssl.py was created.
