Error importing hashlib with python 2.7 but not with 2.6

Question

I'm on Solaris 10 (x86).

Until now, I was using python2.6. Today, I installed python2.7 and I have a weird error occuring when importing hashlib on 2.7, but not on 2.6:

Python 2.6:

root@myserver [PROD] # python2.6 -c "import hashlib" root@myserver [PROD] #  

Python 2.7:

root@myserver [PROD] # python2.7 -c "import hashlib" ERROR:root:code for hash md5 was not found. Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/hashlib.py", line 139, in <module>     globals()[__func_name] = __get_hash(__func_name)   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/hashlib.py", line 91, in __get_builtin_constructor     raise ValueError('unsupported hash type ' + name) ValueError: unsupported hash type md5 ERROR:root:code for hash sha1 was not found.

I don't understand why I have this error since I'm trying the import ON THE SAME MACHINE.

Thanks in advance for your help!

The python2.7 package is dependent to the libssl1_0_0 package (openssl_1.0 runtime librairies).

I installed it, and added the /usr/local/ssl/lib directory in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environnent variable.

And now it works perfectly! :)
