Well, if you get this kind of import error I highly doubt that you've
got a fully working build. When you build pyopenssl (python setup.py
build) you should end up with the following files in
build/lib.something/OpenSSL: __init__.py, version.py, tsafe.py,
rand.so, crypto.so, SSL.so.

"import OpenSSL" or "from OpenSSL import crypto, SSL" or what have you
*is* the right way to import the modules. If that doesn't work,
something's wrong.
