Python Import Error No module named _ssl on Centos without sudo privilege

Question

I want to install Plotly on a share Centos machine so I don't have the Sudo access. All the packages on this computer are outdated so I needed to install the python3 for my local user by compiling the source code and I did it. The problem is that the pip command not working and it gives me this error:

Could not fetch URL "some url": There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='pypi.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /simple/pip/ (Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.")) - skipping

I succed to install the packages using the whl files but again when I try to import Plotly I got this error:

import _ssl             # if we can't import it, let the error propagate

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_ssl'

I tried to recompile the python again with different configurations. I tried a suggestion to put --with-ssl to the ./configure command when try to build the python but I got unknown argument warning. Again I tried to uncomment the bellow lines from the Modules/Setup file but I got the following error during compile step.

ssl _ssl.c \
-DUSE_SSL -I$(SSL)/include -I$(SSL)/include/openssl \
-L$(SSL)/lib -lssl -lcrypto

./Modules/_ssl.c:3112: error: implicit declaration of function 'X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_hostflags'

./Modules/_ssl.c: In function 'set_host_flags':

./Modules/_ssl.c:3586: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

make[3]: *** [Modules/_ssl.o] Error 1

In addition During the configuration step I got the following lines regarding the ssl

checking whether compiling and linking against OpenSSL works... yes

checking for X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host in libssl... no

checking for --with-ssl-default-suites... python

Can anyone help me to find a solution to install Plotly on a CentOS computer without the sudo access? Thanks for your help.
