INTRODUCTION
The eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution includes everything you need to
get started with SSL in Python. It comes with an easy to use installer
that includes the most recent OpenSSL library versions in pre-compiled
form.
pyOpenSSL is an open-source Python add-on (http://pyopenssl.sf.net/)
that allows writing SSL aware networking applications as well as
certificate management tools.
OpenSSL is an open-source implementation of the SSL protocol
(http://www.openssl.org/).

NEWS
This third release of the eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution upgrades
pyOpenSSL to version 0.8, which includes a few bug fixes related to
threading.
Please note that OpenSSL, the underlying SSL engine, does not allow
sharing connections between threads. This is a little known fact which
could in the past cause pyOpenSSL to crash Python. Jean-Paul Calderone,
the maintainer of pyOpenSSL, has added fixes in 0.8 to prevent those
crashes.
We have also fixed several compiler warnings found in the code. The
version of pyOpenSSL you find in the source release has those patches
applied.
Binaries are available for Linux x86 and x64 as well as Windows x86 and
include pyOpenSSL 0.8.0 as well as the OpenSSL 0.9.8i libraries.

UPGRADING
Before installing this version of pyOpenSSL, please make sure that
