Linking with static libraries for Python standard components such as OpenSSL

2013-03-07 Thread gerson . kurz 
I am rebuilding Python 2.7.4 using Visual Studio 2010. As part of that, I 
wanted to build with a current OpenSSL version (1.0.1e) and an updated SQLite 
version.

What I noted: the projects in the main workspace (at least in PCBuild) directly 
include the source code of dependent libraries. Can somebody please explain the 
rationale behind that?

Wouldn't it be better to instead link with static libraries of these projects? 

Exhibit A: _ssl.pyd requires a Perl interpreter to build. (Perl! Anathema!) 
Instead, _ssl.pyd could very well link with the Win32 binaries for OpenSSL? 

Exhibit B: _bsddb.pyd includes a ton of files from Berkley DB, with their 
filenames. Alas, newer versions of Berkley DB have slightly changed filenames, 
so the project needs to be changed to adjust for a newer version of Berkley DB.

XML/RPC server with SSL in Python

2005-03-22 Thread Gerson Kurz 
Are there any alternatives to using M2Crypto for an XML/RPC server in
SSL in Python? Come to think of it, what pythonesque XML/RPC servers
do you recommend (you know, beyond SimpleXMLRPCServer.py)
