I (now) understand all that. I still don't understand why Python should use it, *for OpenSSL*. (that Python might use something like that for itself is probably not the point Larry is trying to make). Now that I read the archives, I see that I didn't understand in February what specific problem would be solved. I still don't see today how it would solve a problem.
