Yes I did. In fact earlier "make test" failed to execute due to _sha256 not found in one of the module testing.
Earlier I ignored these failures from the build and make test as I thought they are not needed by my application. Now I can't use "random" module in my application. So I need to solve this issue. Here is the output of the build. Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found: _bsddb _curses _curses_panel _sqlite3 _ssl bsddb185 bz2 dl gdbm imageop linuxaudiodev ossaudiodev readline spwd sunaudiodev zlib To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.

Thanks in advance for your reply. <snip> > File "hashlib.py", line 74, in __get_builtin_constructor > import _sha256 > ImportError: No module named _sha256 Did you get a message along the lines of "Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found:" when you built Python?
