I think Hisham's point was OpenSSL is in a base package list.  So,
adding it as a dep for python (also in base) wouldn't add any
additional packages to base.  ChrootCompile only includes deps listed
in Dependencies so the binary package doesn't include SSL support.

In a nutshell, yes add OpenSSL as a dep to Python.
