- Metadata-Version: 1.0
- Name: ssl
- Version: 1.15
- Summary: SSL wrapper for socket objects (2.3, 2.4, 2.5 compatible)
- Home-page: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/ssl.html
- Author: See long_description for details
- Author-email: python.ssl.maintainer@gmail.com

- Description:
- The old socket.ssl() support for TLS over sockets is being
- superseded in Python 2.6 by a new 'ssl' module. This package
- brings that module to older Python releases, 2.3.5 and up (it may
- also work on older versions of 2.3, but we haven't tried it).
-
- It's quite similar to the 2.6 ssl module. There's no stand-alone
- documentation for this package; instead, just use the development
- branch documentation for the SSL module at
- http://docs.python.org/dev/library/ssl.html.
-
- Version 1.0 had a problem with Python 2.5.1 -- the structure of
- the socket object changed from earlier versions.
-
- Version 1.1 was missing various package metadata information.
-
- Version 1.2 added more package metadata, and support for
- ssl.get_server_certificate(), and the PEM-to-DER encode/decode
- routines. Plus integrated Paul Moore's patch to setup.py for
- Windows. Plus added support for asyncore, and asyncore HTTPS
- server test.
-
- Version 1.3 fixed a bug in the test suite.
-
- Version 1.4 incorporated use of -static switch.
-
- Version 1.5 fixed bug in Python version check affecting build on
- Python 2.5.0.
-
- Version 1.7 (and 1.6) fixed some bugs with asyncore support (recv and
- send not being called on the SSLSocket class, wrong semantics for
- sendall).
-
- Version 1.8 incorporated some code from Chris Stawarz to handle
- sockets which are set to non-blocking before negotiating the SSL
- session.
-
- Version 1.9 makes ssl.SSLError a subtype of socket.error.
-
- Version 1.10 fixes a bug in sendall().
-
- Version 1.11 includes the MANIFEST file, and by default will turne
- unexpected EOFs occurring during a read into a regular EOF. It also
- removes the code for SSLFileStream, to use the regular socket module's
- _fileobject instead.
-
- Version 1.12 fixes the bug in SSLSocket.accept() reported by Georg
- Brandl, and adds a test case for that fix.
-
- Version 1.13 fixes a bug in calling do_handshake() automatically
- on non-blocking sockets. Thanks to Giampaolo Rodola. Now includes
- real asyncore test case.
-
- Version 1.14 incorporates some fixes to naming (rename "recv_from" to
- "recvfrom" and "send_to" to "sendto"), and a fix to the asyncore test
- case to unregister the connection handler when the connection is
- closed. It also exposes the SSL shutdown via the "unwrap" method
- on an SSLSocket. It exposes "subjectPublicKey" in the data received
- from a peer cert.
-
- Version 1.15 fixes a bug in write retries, where the output buffer has
- changed location because of garbage collection during the interim.
- It also provides the new flag, PROTOCOL_NOSSLv2, which selects SSL23,
- but disallows actual use of SSL2.
-
- Authorship: A cast of dozens over the years have written the Python
- SSL support, including Marc-Alan Lemburg, Robin Dunn, GvR, Kalle
- Svensson, Skip Montanaro, Mark Hammond, Martin von Loewis, Jeremy
- Hylton, Andrew Kuchling, Georg Brandl, Bill Janssen, Chris Stawarz,
- Neal Norwitz, and many others. Thanks to Paul Moore, David Bolen and
- Mark Hammond for help with the Windows side of the house. And it's
- all based on OpenSSL, which has its own cast of dozens!
