This must be the call to os.system in test_ssl.py:create_cert_files(). It's very UNIX-y. Can any bi-platform folks suggest a good alternative to
os.system( "openssl req -batch -new -x509 -days 10 -nodes -config %s " "-keyout \"%s\" -out \"%s\" > /dev/null < /dev/null 2>&1" % (conffile, crtfile, crtfile))
that would be more Windows-friendly?
Bundle a cert and key as part of the test? Is there a requirement to use a freshly-minted certificate each time?

That's what we've done, and it seems to have turned the Ubuntu and Debian buildbots green again. The Windows question is harder, though -- I'm still not seeing a clean buildbot test on Windows. By the way, this solution introduces a Y2K problem into the test code. The included cert runs out in February of 2013, and will need to be regenerated then. Bill
