Why not include the prebuilt libraries of all external libs in SVN as well ? BTW: Are you including the patented algorithms in the standard OpenSSL build or excluding them ? The patented ones are RC5, IDEA and MDC2: http://svn.python.org/view/external/openssl-0.9.8g/README Here's a previous discussion: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-August/068055.html Here's what MediaCrypt has to say about requiring a license for IDEA: http://www.mediacrypt.com/_contents/20_support/204010_faq_bus.asp Note that in the case of IDEA, any commercial use will require getting a license to the patented algorithm first (costs start at EUR 15 for a single use license). I'd opt for not including these algorithms, as it's just too easy for the user to overlook this license requirement. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Nov 23 2007) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ :::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,MacOSX for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
