I dug a bit further into this, and the problem is likely that PYTHONPATH
is incomplete at test time. Moving 'check after 'install and adding a
proper PYTHONPATH seems to work, but now I ran into a test needing
network access.

https://github.com/pyca/pyopenssl/blob/16.2.0/tests/test_ssl.py#L1186

I'll prepare a patch to remove that test entirely, unless someone knows
a clever way to check for network access and conditionally skip it
(which I'm sure upstream would be happy to accept).
