I am trying to install Python 3.13 on OCI Linux compute and keep getting the error below even after installing OpenSSL 3.0.18.

Installing Python-3.13.9...
Traceback (most recent call last):

import _ssl # if we can't import it, let the error propagate
^^^^^^^^^^^
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_ssl'
ERROR: The Python ssl extension was not compiled. Missing the OpenSSL lib?
