[Twisted-Python] [ANN] pyOpenSSL 0.15
Greetings fellow Pythoneers, I'm happy to announce that pyOpenSSL 0.15 is now available. pyOpenSSL is a set of Python bindings for OpenSSL. It includes some low-level cryptography APIs but is primarily focused on providing an API for using the TLS protocol from Python. Check out the PyPI page (<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyOpenSSL>) for downloads. *** This is the last release under the stewardship of Jean-Paul Calderone and the maintainership is now taken over by the Python Cryptography Authority (PyCA) which has been developing the C-bindings for pyOpenSSL for a while (aka cryptography). We’d like to thank him for his great work over the past years and hope to be able to keep moving the project into a direction that will make him only slightly sad. *** The highlights of this release include: - Support to ECDHE, - NPN and ALPN support, - …many bug fixes! It’s worth pointing out that OpenSSL functions generally work on *byte strings* because they mirror OpenSSL APIs and OpenSSL is not Unicode-aware. Passing Unicode strings tends to accidentally work due do implicit decodes on Python 2 but they emit a DeprecationWarning now. Please note that DeprecationWarnings are silenced by default on Python 2.7. See the ChangeLog at <https://github.com/pyca/pyopenssl/blob/0.15/ChangeLog> for more details!

Hello again, since releasing software is so much fun, 0.15.1 is out on PyPI too. It fixes a small regression that shouldn’t affect you in practice but breaks the Twisted test suite. See https://github.com/pyca/pyopenssl/pull/225 for details. Brown baggily yours, —h On 14 Apr 2015, at 12:54, Hynek Schlawack wrote:
