ActivePython & SSL

Hello all,

In the past I've used the ActivePython distribution for windows.
Particularly their chm help manual is excellent.

I have heard that the ActivePython distribution *doesn't* include SSL
support compiled in for windows.

Can anyone confirm or deny this rumour for me ?

All the best,

Fuzzyman

That is correct. More details here:

- As Neil pointed out, ActivePython does not currently have SSL bindings
(the _ssl module) that python.org's Python builds do. We are currently
going through the legal hurdles so that we can include those. I expect
that by or before the Python 2.5 timeframe we'll have _ssl in
ActivePython.
...

Sincerely,
Trent
