Slight modification there: ...because we are currently jumping through
the legal hoops...

But, yes, you are correct that ActivePython does not currently include
the _ssl extension because of crypto export restriction legal rules.
We've had a breakthrough here though (yeah!) and I'm hopeful that in the
not too distant future I'll be able to include SSL in ActivePython (and
other products I work on here at ActiveState).
