pyOpenSSL is a Python wrapper for a subset of OpenSSLs functionality. It features an advanced error management system, connection objects that wrap socket methods, and flexible context objects. Also included is a rudimentary crypto module that can be used to create and verify certificates (X509 objects). Installation: pyOpenSSL uses distutils, so there really shouldnt be any problems. To build the library: python setup.py build If your OpenSSL header files arent in /usr/include, you may need to supply the -I flag to let the setup script know where to look. The same goes for the libraries of course, use the -L flag. Note that build wont accept these flags, so you have to run first build_ext and then build! Example: python setup.py build_ext -I/usr/local/ssl/include -L/usr/local/ssl/lib python setup.py build Now you should have a directory called OpenSSL that contains e.g. SSL.so and __init__.py somewhere in the build dicrectory, so just: python setup.py install If you, for some arcane reason, dont want the module to appear in the site-packages directory, use the --prefix option. You can, of course, do python setup.py --help to find out more about how to use the script. Documentation: The documentation is written in LaTeX, using the standard Python templates, and tools to compile it into a number of forms are included. You need to supply things like dvips, latex2html yourself of course! To build the text, html, postscript or dvi forms of the documentation, this is what you do: cd doc # To make the text-only documentation: make text # To make the dvi form: make dvi Its as simple as that. Note that since Pythons mkhowto script is used, if you do first ``make dvi and then ``make ps, the dvi file will disappear. I included a special build target ``make all that will build all the documentation in an order that wont let anything disappear..
