common causes of "could not build the ssl module" error:
a. missing openssl development libraries: python's ssl module depends on openssl libraries. if the required development files are not installed on your system, python may fail to build the ssl module.
b. outdated openssl version: sometimes, the version of openssl installed on your system might be too old or incompatible with python, leading to build errors.
c. misconfigured environment: incorrect environment configurations or conflicting libraries can also cause the ssl module build failure.
