It comes with an easy-to-use installer that includes the most recent OpenSSL library versions in pre-compiled form, making your application independent of OS provided OpenSSL libraries: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/pyOpenSSL/ pyOpenSSL is an open-source Python add-on that allows writing SSL/TLS- aware network applications as well as certificate management tools: https://launchpad.net/pyopenssl/ OpenSSL is an open-source implementation of the SSL/TLS protocol: http://www.openssl.org/ ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS This new release of the eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution updates the included OpenSSL version to 1.0.1c. New features in OpenSSL 1.0.1c since 1.0.0j ------------------------------------------- OpenSSL 1.0.1c includes several new features: * TLS/DTLS heartbeat support * Next Protocol Negotiation * Support TLS v1.2 and TLS v1.1 as well as several other new features: http://lwn.net/Articles/486426/ fixes vulnerabilities relative to 1.0.0j: http://openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html and includes a number of stability enhancements as well as extra protection against attacks: http://openssl.org/news/changelog.html New features in the eGenix pyOpenSSL Distribution ------------------------------------------------- * Added the openssl binary to the OpenSSL package directory. This can be used to access OpenSSL functionality not exposed by pyOpenSSL. * Changed the Windows OPENSSLDIR default to c:\openssl\ to simplify OpenSSL configuration. * Fixed OpenSSL assembler build issues on Windows x64 and Mac OS X PPC/x86. As always, we provide binaries that include both pyOpenSSL and the necessary OpenSSL libraries for all supported platforms: Windows x86 and x64, Linux x86 and x64, Mac OS X PPC, x86 and x64. We've also added egg-file distribution versions of our eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X to the available download options. These make setups using e.g. zc.buildout and other egg-file based installers a lot easier. ________________________________________________________________________ DOWNLOADS The download archives and instructions for installing the package can be found at: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/pyOpenSSL/ ________________________________________________________________________ UPGRADING Before installing this version of pyOpenSSL, please make sure that you uninstall any previously installed pyOpenSSL version. Otherwise, you could end up not using the included OpenSSL libs. _______________________________________________________________________ SUPPORT Commercial support for these packages is available from eGenix.com.

This is not a major bummer, but certainly a privacy issue for some. This can all be fixed, I suppose (I don't know anything about LP mailing list configurations). To make the transition smooth, I'd suggest to get the SF mailing list archive imported into LP, configure the LP mailing list like the SF one (no public membership roster, no LP signup requirement) and put a link to the mailing list right on the project's overview page. Then switch off the SF list, to avoid cross postings to both lists. BTW: What benefit do you see in switching mailing list hosts ? Why not use python.org as host instead of LP or SF ?

(I can >help with a python.org transition) I'd like to get pyOpenSSL entirely off of sourceforge so that I no longer need to interact with sourceforge (as doing so is a perpetually unpleasant experience). I think everyone else in the community would benefit from this as well. I chose Launchpad because it was easy to set up, and because that's where the rest of pyOpenSSL's infrastructure has moved. This was meant to make things easier and reduce confusion amongst potential community members. I'm not sure this has succeeded. As you point out, there are some problems with Launchpad. If you'd like to spearhead a move of the mailing list to python.org-based hosting, that's fine with me. I can't offer much help with that move, but I'll do whatever I can to remove any roadblocks you encounter. Jean-Paul
