Your patch gets the work done, but it's even slower than my WIP patch set. Hashing is a performance critical path. The new fetch() API in OpenSSL 3.0.0 is substantially slower than the old OpenSSL 1.1.1 APIs.

Python 3.9 and earlier still support OpenSSL 1.0.2. I removed support for OpenSSL < 1.1.1 for Python 3.10. There are approvied FIPS providers for OpenSSL 1.1.1, e.g. RHEL 8 has a certified FIPS module for OpenSSL 1.1.1.
