actually, i found out that i can change some code in socketmodule.c so
that it compiles. i found the answer in faq
(http://www.python.org/doc/FAQ.html). but after that, when i try to use
it, i keep getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "httplib.py", line 819, in ?
    test()
  File "httplib.py", line 805, in test
    hs.connect(host)
  File "httplib.py", line 660, in connect
    self._conn.connect()
  File "httplib.py", line 616, in connect
    ssl = socket.ssl(sock, self.key_file, self.cert_file)
TypeError: ssl, argument 1: expected socket, instance found

does anyone know why?
