[issue12012] _ssl module doesn't compile with OpenSSL 1.0.0d: SSLv2_method is missing

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Does this happen with a released build of OpenSSL? The Debian bug talks about experimental.

+try:
+    from _ssl import PROTOCOL_SSLv2
+    OPENSSL_NO_SSL2 = False
+except ImportError:
+    OPENSSL_NO_SSL2 = True

Please avoid "negative" constants. Calling it HAS_SSLv2 would be fine.

Also, there should be some doc update mentioning that PROTOCOL_SSLv2 is not always present.
