Sorry for the no-reply...  Anyhoo, the ssl stuff currently in the socket
module only allows ssl on client connections (i.e. where you connect to
somebody else) as opposed to server connections (i.e. where somebody
connects to you).

For example, you have a cheesy SSL socket client:

from socket import *
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(('',9999))
ss = ssl(s,None,None)
ss.write("foo!\n")

The patch is required in order to be able to write the corresponding
server, as such:

from socket import *
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind(('',9999))
s.listen(5)
f,a = s.accept()
ss = sslserv(f, "keyfilename", "certfilename")
print ss.read(5)


If you try to just use the ssl function on both sides and it
doesn't work.

Comment:
Drew, could you provide an example of how this is used? If I can't test it
I can't add it. It doesn't have to be a test module (although a test module
for all the SSL support is sorely needed) but I would like to see a little
motivation for why this is useful. Also note that the SSL support in the
socket module is controversial; there are some who believe that a different
approach is needed, e.g. based on M2crypto.

Still no reply. I'll reject the patch now, for lack of sufficient
motivation.
