Hello, This is my first post to the list but I wish to be an active developer of Python in the future. This project of Summer of Code from Google has opened my eyes to the open source community. The money has been a great motivation but thinking about coding something that will be remembered in the future and specially USEFUL to the community motivates me very much too. After this introduction I want to talk about SSL support in Python. I have read in the Summer of Code section of Python web that a possible project is coding a new complete module that implements SSL to Python. And possibly add this module to the python standard library. Appart from this the project would include adding functionality to the modules (like urlib) to support SSL as trasparent as possible. ¿What do you think about it? **I'm actually looking for information in the archives of this list and web** but I would like to ask the list something: - Is necessary a complete new SSL module for Python? - What do you need about SSL ? - What do you think about incorporing SSL to act trasparently in the modules that use it in the actuality ? - Any kind of information, references, would be appreciate. I would like to do the new SSL module as good as possible. A piece of art and efficiency if possible and obviusly having in mind all programming standards. Thanks very much for any help. -- Florencio Cano Gabarda <fcano@ono.com>
