Ok. So, what do you think of me applying for this work: make a module
for python called ssl.py that implements completely ssl and that has a
good API. And if possible integrate it in the stdlib and any other
module that use http to work trasparently with ssl. ¿ok?
But I have some questions:

1) All modules integrated in the stdlib are coded in C ? I ask that
because I would be preferably interested in coding in python but C is ok
for me too.

2) Are there any requeriments, apart of being a very good module, to add
a module to the stdlib ?

3) Sorry because english is not my mother language so I don't understand
exactly this sentence: "...integrate it into the stdlib so that use in
the urllib module...". That means to add integrate ssl.py module to
urllib too?

Thanks very much for your help. It will be a great summer, summer of
code.
