huh? the "regular Python solution" ships with a perfectly working SSL library (in DLLs/_ssl.pyd), which look for the appropriate version of the Python DLL: > dumpbin /imports "\python24\DLLs\_ssl.pyd" Microsoft (R) COFF Binary File Dumper Version 6.00.8168 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1992-1998. All rights reserved. Dump of file \python24\DLLs\_ssl.pyd File Type: DLL Section contains the following imports: WSOCK32.dll ... python24.dll ... (what's the point in using ActiveState's crippled distribution if you need stuff that's shipped with the standard distro, btw? why not just use the standard version, and install win32all on top of that?) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
