0.13.1 is a very old version. The current one (as of this writing) is 16.1.0. The code for the message is not even in the repo anymore. Are you really specifically interested in such an old codebase?

The new version relies on a statically linked version of openssl in its dependency module, cryptography, so you don't need to worry about having it elsewhere any longer.
