... I like to reduce the maintenance burden and list of supported OpenSSL versions ASAP. OpenSSL has deprecated 0.9.8 and 1.0.0 last year. 1.0.1 will reach EOL by the end of this year, https://www.openssl.org/policies/releasestrat.html . However OpenSSL 0.9.8 is still required for some platforms (OSX). ... For upcoming 3.6 I would like to limit support to 1.0.2+ and require 1.0.2 features for 3.7. ...
Hmm, that last part would mean that Python 3.7 will no longer compile on e.g. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS which uses OpenSSL 1.0.1 as default version. Since 14.04 LTS is supported until 2019, I think it would be better to only start requiring 1.0.2 in Python 3.8.
BTW: Are there any features in 1.0.2 that we need and would warrant dropping support for 1.0.1 earlier than Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ?
