As Chris noted, the Python 2.7 you're trying to use was compiled without
support for SSL (or at least shipped without it).  You won't be able to use an
SSL-enabled retriever with that Python.

You should be able to find, or build, a Python 2.7 that supports SSL.  Check
wherever you got that version; they may have fixed the problem already.
