I have no firsthand knowledge here, but I would suggest following the approach Activestate's page recommends. Install the python.org distribution to a separate directory (actually, if possible, I'd do it on a different machine, so the install process doesn't mess up your paths and file associations), and copy out the two ssl files to the ActivePython directory. Again, verify that the install process didn't muck up your path, file associations, or anything else; and if it did, fix it manually. Or else maybe someone on this list can volunteer to email him the two SSL files. (I would, but I'm an Activestate user, too, so I don't have them either.) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
