Other images are either relying on the outdated Python provided by the distro, or building it from source against an outdated version of openSSL.
The Dockerfile of these versions also often consists of a single stage, which makes the code harder to read and tend to leave behind some unnecessary files (dev headers for packages, etc).
Here, we build Python from source against the latest openSSL version, making sure to use the RPATH correctly to link to the right version.
Feel free to suggest improvements and submit PR, always much appreciated :)
