Using the pre-2.6 module would have been the only way to work around it (i.e. work with the old socket methods). Since that doesn't work even in 2.6, then my guess would be that you'll just have to wait until the bug is fixed (unless IMAP or CPython are options). If you haven't already, I encourage you to vote for implementing the _ssl module: http://ironpython.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=21411&ProjectName=IronPython Cheers, Tony _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
