I'm guessing that Olen is using Activestate's distribution, which does not include SSL for export control reasons: ActivePython does not include SSL support. Why is this, and how can I add it? Here is an answer on python-list while discussing the differences between ActivePython and python.org's Python: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2005-December/315754.html [http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2005-December/357227.html] ... - As Neil pointed out, ActivePython does not currently have SSL bindings (the _ssl module) that python.org's Python builds do. We are currently going through the legal hurdles so that we can include those. I expect that by or before the Python 2.5 timeframe we'll have _ssl in ActivePython. ... In the interim just plopping in the _ssl.pyd|so from either python.org's build or from your own build into ActivePython's lib-dynload directory will work to get ActivePython talking SSL. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePython/2.4/faq.html#ext_ssl _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
