Python's _ssl/_hashlib modules link statically against OpenSSL in Python 2.7, so the OpenSSL DLLs are not exposed to other extensions. The OpenSSL version used for 2.7.6 is 0.9.8y. Upgrading to 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 will likely need a few minor tweaks, but not cause general breakage - at least that's my experience with the egenix-pyopenssl distribution. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Mar 24 2014) >>> Python Projects, Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope/Plone.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ 2014-03-29: PythonCamp 2014, Cologne, Germany ... 5 days to go 2014-04-09: PyCon 2014, Montreal, Canada ... 16 days to go 2014-04-29: Python Meeting Duesseldorf ... 36 days to go eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
