Hi Jonas

I've having same need so i found a solution but you need to hack a bit

I am using python 2.6.3 but i suppose it could be applicable to your
case.

First of all u need to edit /usr/lib/python2.6/lib/python2.6/
multiprocessing/connection.py

This is mine:

================================

If u take a look u can observe i've imported ssl module and added a
sslsock parameter in SocketListener and SocketClient.

There is a certificate file required called 'cert.pem', you can
generate one by typing this:

openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out cert.pem -keyout cert.pem

In same directory where your python server program runs.

Encryption it's setup to AES-256 and mandatory, so it would raise and
error if certificate file is missing.

U don't need to change any code in your program.

U can use tcpdump or wireshark to test that it works.
