SSL module not available in Python3.8

I have RHEL6.10 machine where I used below steps to install python3.8

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.16/Python-3.8.16.tar.xz 
tar xcf Python-3.8.16.tar.xz 
cd Python-3.8.16.tar.xz 
./configure 
make altinstall
pip3.8 install shareplum

While using pip command to install any module, I am getting ssl module not found error

[[email protected]]# pip3.8 install shareplum

Even though I checked openssl is installed or not, It is available in machine. Requesting a big help, if anyone can point out the missing piece.

Python 3 needs 1.1.1 or newer OPEN SSL version - https://peps.python.org/pep-0644/

Use openssl latest version I would suggest to use - ./configure --enable-optimizations

In configure you will see something with ssl verify it is yes

This flag enables Profile guided optimization (PGO) and Link Time Optimization (LTO).

Both are expensive optimizations that slow down the build process but yield a significant speed boost (around 10-20% from what I remember reading). what does --enable-optimizations do while compiling python?
