I think the way to progress was refreshing LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH to incorporate openssl as I went.

Install and build the openssl

OpenSSL 1.1.1d 10 Sep 2019

cloned openssl repo

Pulled out latest(?) 1.1 branch

git checkout OpenSSL_1_1_1d -b 1_1_1d

./config --prefix=/opt/openssl

make

make install

Add /opt/openssl/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var

Add /opt/openssl/bin to your PATH

Install and build python-3.7.6

I installed with --prefix=/opt/python-3.7.6

./configure --prefix=/opt/python-3.7.6  --enable-optimizations --with-openssl=/opt/openssl

make

make install

Add /opt/python-3.7.6/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var

Add /opt/python-3.7.6/bin to your PATH

Final config

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/openssl/lib:/opt/python-3.7.6/lib:

PATH=/opt/openssl/bin:/opt/python-3.7.6/bin:/opt/idea/latest/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
