IMAP4_SSL error

[Russell Stewart]

I'm trying to log into a secure IMAP4 server using imaplib,
and I'm getting a strange error. If I do the following (name
of mail server x'ed out in example):

import imaplib
m = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("mail.xxx.xxx")

I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "C:\Python24\lib\imaplib.py", line 1101, in __init__
IMAP4.__init__(self, host, port)
File "C:\Python24\lib\imaplib.py", line 160, in __init__
self.open(host, port)
File "C:\Python24\lib\imaplib.py", line 1114, in open
self.sslobj = socket.ssl(self.sock, self.keyfile, self.certfile)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ssl'

Any ideas? I'm running Active State Python 2.4 in WinXP
SP2.

I recall that Active State Python binary does not include SSL because of
export restriction. Try using normal python binary in http://python.org.
