Just out of interest, is there a reason you can't use a newer Python
version? Since you talk about compiling Python, I assume you mean
CPython; and given that you're considering using a different OpenSSL,
you're quite probably already planning to compile from source. If
that's true, I would recommend building the latest - either a source
tarball of CPython 3.4, or the very latest beta of 3.5; personally,
I'm quite happy with the beta, but you might prefer to use a properly
released and numbered version.

If you can't recompile [C]Python, can you explain more about what
you're planning to do to change OpenSSL version, and why it needs to
be 3.2? That might help with the second part of your question.
