pyOpenSSL / OpenSSL Binaries Included -------------------------------------

In addition to providing sources, we make binaries available that include both pyOpenSSL and the necessary OpenSSL libraries for all supported platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and FreeBSD, for x86 and x64.

To simplify installation, we have uploaded a web installer to PyPI which will automatically choose the right binary for your platform, so a simple

pip install egenix-pyopenssl

will get you the package with OpenSSL libraries installed. Please see our installation instructions for details:

We have also added .egg-file distribution versions of our eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X to the available download options. These make setups using e.g. zc.buildout and other egg-file based installers a lot easier.
