[Pythonmac-SIG] Another build question: ssl?

[Russell E Owen]

I hunted around and found /usr/lib/libssl.dylib
(as well as /usr/libexec/httpd/libssl.so)

This is on a pretty vanilla MacOS X system, so I assume this is the 
standard location for MacOS X as installed by Apple.

So...is that library safe to use? If so, any plans to fix setup.py so 
it finds that ssl (so it builds ssl on MacOS X without special extra 
configuration)?
