I'm having trouble understanding this because Debian seems to have
carried out what you're saying is impossible: in testing, they ship a
python2.7 that appears to be using openssl 3, and do not ship openssl
1.1 at all.  There are also a handful of clearly openssl 3-related
patches in their tree
https://salsa.debian.org/cpython-team/python2/-/tree/master/debian/patches

Have folks looked at how they do this, and whether we could adapt it to
Fedora?

Be well,
