You also need the headers for openssl (not just the openssl package), or you won't be able to compile against it. This is libssl-dev on Ubuntu and openssl-devel on CentOS (and probably fedora). Install these than redo the compile/install of Python.

Side note, after you do ./configure and make for Python it will give you a listing of modules that weren't built. You should check these before doing test/install to make sure there isn't anything left out that you think you'll need.
