2. Project Summary
Currently, the PyOpenSSL package is available for Python 2.4 on Solaris
(PSARC 2008/705).
Because Python 2.6 has been added to Solaris (PSARC 2009/043), we need
to add the
PyOpenSSL package support for Python 2.6 as well.
4. Technical Description:
4.1. Details:
The reason pyOpenSSL was created is that the SSL support in the socket
module in Python 2.1 (the contemporary version of Python when the
pyOpenSSL project was begun) was severely limited.
PyOpenSSL provides a high-level interface to the functions in the
OpenSSL library. The following modules are defined:
crypto
Generic cryptographic module.
rand
An interface to the OpenSSL pseudo random number generator.

4.3. Doc Impact:
None.
4.4. Packaging & Delivery:

4.5. Dependencies:
PSARC 2003/500 OpenSSL in /usr/sfw
PSARC 2006/019 OpenSSL upgrade to 0.9.8a
PSARC 2006/555 Move OpenSSL to usr
4.6. L10N Impact:
None.
4.7. Security Impact:
This case only adds Python language bindings to OpenSSL and provides
no other significant additional functionality relating to security.
It is only functional if OpenSSL is also on the system.
