eGenix pyOpenSSL Distribution 0.8.1-0.9.8j GA

Introduction

The eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution includes everything you need to get started with SSL in Python. It comes with an easy to use installer that includes the most recent OpenSSL library versions in pre-compiled
form.

pyOpenSSL is an open-source Python add-on that allows writing SSL-aware networking applications as as certificate managment tools. It uses the OpenSSL library as performant and robust SSL engine.

OpenSSL is an open-source implementation of the SSL protocol.

News

This new release of the eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution fixes a serious problem in pyOpenSSL 0.8 related to threaded applications.

The problem causes invalid thread states in the Python interpreter which then result in random core dumps and seg faults. The patch was provided by Maxim Sobolev on SourceForge.

Note that this patch has not yet been integrated into upstream pyOpenSSL.

We have also fixed several compiler warnings found in the code. The version of pyOpenSSL you find in the source release has those patches applied.

Binaries are available for Linux x86 and x64 as well as Windows x86 and Mac OS X PPC/Intel. They include both pyOpenSSL and the necessary OpenSSL libraries.

For Plone users and friends of buildout scripts, we have added pre-built binaries for Windows. They install just like the Linux versions and allow easy integration of the archives into buildout scripts.

For our Mac OS X users, we have included new pre-built binaries for Mac OS X PPC and Intel platforms.

Downloads

Please visit the eGenix pyOpenSSL Distribution page for downloads, instructions on installation and documentation of the package.

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.
