'module' object has no attribute 'ssl'

[Niurka Perez]

Hi, 

I have Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-54 and Python 2.4.3 (the
original version downloaded from python.org) and I'm
using httplib to make a request to an external server,
this is the code I'm using:

import httplib
https = httplib.HTTPSConnection('216.220.59.211',
7989)
https.debuglevel = 1
body = buildXML(data)
try:
   https.request('POST', '/Messenger/XMLMessenger',
body)
   response = https.getresponse()
   response = response.read()
   https.close()
except: 
   response = None
   import traceback
   traceback.print_exc() 
return response


And I get the following error: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "testPayment.py", line 14, in preAuthPayment
    https.request('POST', '/Messenger/XMLMessenger',
body)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line
804, in request 
    self._send_request(method, url, body, headers)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line
827, in _send_request
    self.endheaders()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line
798, in endheaders 
    self._send_output()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line
679, in _send_output
    self.send(msg)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line
646, in send
    self.connect ()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line
1073, in connect
    ssl = socket.ssl(sock, self.key_file,
self.cert_file)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ssl'

Anybody has an idea of what migth be happening? 

Thank in advance.
Best Regards,

Niurka
