https on ActiveState Python 2.4?

[Jack]

Thanks for the reply.

I found some openSSL patches for earlier versions of ActiveState Python.
It involves .pyd files and they look for earlier versions of Python DLLs and 
don't
run on ActiveState Python 2.4. I suspect the regular Python solution would
have the same problem or even more problems because it's not a pure .py
patch.
