In general, releases should be more frequent when the language is less
mature and perhaps lacking. With maturity one seeks stability and less
frequency. Python is, for the most part, a mature language.

But that provides little consolation to the user who sees it in the
standard library, is not aware to this discussion, and builds it into
his app. Changes to the lib later may cause subtle but significant

I don't have a specific case in mind. In general, however, it would be
nice to be able to protect intellectual property, but without addressing
the problem from a holistic view, there is little protection afforded
and perhaps a lot of unrewarded wo

Ugh! Good point.

Hi Barry,
A question Do you know if OpenSSL's applink.c will be included in
the Windows builds? If so, and I hope it is, great!
If not, I'd like to encourage its inclusion. Doing so will permit
Python to be used with OpenSSL 0.9.8x on Windows platforms without a

I personally have not used _ssl but on quick inspection I don't see any
of the crypto algorithms implemented, AES, ECDSA, etc. What if we want
to encrypt or sign content using

Gerald, if there is an expectation some of your HP windows users would
like to use OpenSSL with Python, there is this little matter of
including applink.c in the build.
All, and not to start flames, but I still do not understand why
applink.c isn't included in python's main (conditionally) inste

There has been some discussion here that users should use the str or
byte function variant based on what is relevant to their system, for
example when getting a list of file names or opening a file. That
thought process really doesn't do much for those of us that write code
that needs to run on a
