I personally have not used _ssl but on quick inspection I don't see any of the crypto algorithms implemented, AES, ECDSA, etc. What if we want to encrypt or sign content using OpenSSL? We'd import M2Crypto but when we go to load the key we'll get an OPENSSL_Applink error. Likewise for OpenSSL with xmlsec. Larry PS: This problem applies to vanilla builds of Python on Windows only when Microsoft tools and libraries are used to build Python. It does not apply to cygwin or mingw where gcc is used. Likewise, it does not apply to other platforms, only Windows. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
