Hi Michael ,

Actually my requirement is to use 32 bit version of pyOpenSSL on 64
bit linux machine, Python 64 bit is not able to load 32 bit
pyOpenSSL, so I wanted to install 32 bit python on 64 bit Linux.

Again building that locally is not straight forward as I guess we
need to use 32 bit version of lib and gcc .

Could you please suggest me something?

I could be wrong, but your choices are:

a) build a custom 32-bit python install to /opt/python32 or something

or

b) set up a 32-bit chroot environment and install the stock 32-bit
python in that.
