SSL how to?

[Blair Lowe]

Python 2.0 is supposed to support it.

I have version 1.5 working with the M2Crypto library. Ken Kinder 
pointed me to http://www.vex.net/parnassus/apyllo.py?find=ssl to get 
it.

For M2Crypto, you need some other stuff too (openssl, swig, and a 
couple of other things). I got the other bits from rpm's on the net 
(only if you have a system that can use ropm's like LINUX), otherwise 
it is difficult to set up since you may need to do the old tar -xvf 
<tarball>, ./configure, make, make install dance to get the 
supporting packages.

In python 1.5, after installing M2Crypto, everything is quite simple.

I assume that python 2.0 is easier, but I have not got there yet.
