[mod_python] _ssl module not found with mod_python

The version of SSL library which Python ssl module is linking with is
different to that which Apache is linking with, or which Apache has
compiled into it. Apache would need to be rebuilt with the --with-ssl
option to configure to reference same installed version of SSL
libraries.
