Hi Barry,
A question.... Do you know if OpenSSL's applink.c will be included in
the Windows builds? If so, and I hope it is, great!
If not, I'd like to encourage its inclusion. Doing so will permit
Python to be used with OpenSSL 0.9.8x on Windows platforms without a
user trying to find somebody with the right compiler to rebuild a Python
for him/her. This is needed for M2Crypto, or any other OpenSSL wrapper
for that matter. A lot more can be said here, but in the interest of
brevity... ;-)
applink.c is perhaps two dozen links and some error codes, and is benign
for those not calling these APIs. applink.c may be found in
<openssl_source_dir>/ms and the one line include stmt that would be
added to <py-src>/Modules/python.c is:
#include "<path_to>/applink.c"
That's it.
And the OpenSSL FAQ: http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#PROG2
Tx, Larry
