So people on like half a dozen Python forums quibble about how the socket.ssl library for python doesn’t allow for certificate checking, and such, and well since I have really been spending miniscule amounts of time on this project anyways (like 30 mins to an hour a day), I figured I’d get a better OpenSSL implementation in. Be aware, that because I am using pyOpenSSL, I need to make this LGPL, rather than the usual Python license. To use this version of the module, you willl need pyOpenSSL, and perhaps OpenSSL, I refuse to distribute cryptographic libraries directly on this website because of all the legalese involved, all the export control requirements, and such. It is so much easier to let other people take care of that.

PS: Forgot to link to the module. A bundle with the module and sample code is available here
