Hello,
I've just uploaded 0.8a1 to sourceforge. This release is almost entirely about thread-related fixes. It includes part of a patch Red Hat has been applying to their 0.6 package for a long time, as well as a change to the way OpenSSL.SSL.Connection manage the GIL. Whereas previously Connection operations acquired and released the GIL as necessary to allow for concurrency, using a Connection object in multiple threads was not safe. This should now be safe, through a combination of proper initialization of OpenSSL's threading support and a different strategy for managing the CPython GIL.
Please try it out and let me know how it goes. Thanks!
Jean-Paul
