We use numerous third party libraries, one being PyOpenSSL We have already rebuilt it with a newer version of OpenSSL. We continue to have the same issue. We have some part of the code that make secure connection using sockets, I think those end up using the ssl module from Python. However, I am not the one who debugged this to be this issue on windows >You need to take some time and chase down what the crash really is, >because I don't think you really know right now. Another team member who had debugged the windows side of our project. Unfortunately, I am no windows expert and he was the one who done the initial debugging and come to the conclusion that the issue is with regards to multiple OpenSSL dll being loaded into the same address space. He is not part of our team any more and I am faced with rebuilding all our tools to ensure consistency. I am not subscribed to the list would appreciate if I am copied on the reply. -- Bharath _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
