Why are you importing these directly from the "_ssl" C module and not
from the "ssl" wrapper module? Anything that starts with an _ should
be considered a private implementation detail and shouldn't be relied
upon.

The ssl module in the standard library has this:

try:
    from _ssl import RAND_egd
except ImportError:
    # LibreSSL does not provide RAND_egd
    pass

So it looks like you cannot depend on ssl.RAND_egd to be present.
