Thank you for the pointers, Heikki. I thought that SSL support would be
simple socket implementation replacement, but timeout limitations would
demand to implement a lot of code in my application.

I feel this issue is fairly known and there is requests to solve it. Do
you have any timeframe?. Seems a showstop...

I'm a bit worried also with memory leaks, since I'm using M2Crypto
(since this night) in a 24/7 mail service. Googling about it is a bit
worrying.

Any other SSL implementation out there for Python?. No, I can't use 100%
native python here, for performance reasons. I've looked at
http://www.brontes3d.com/opensource/straightssl.html, but doc is sparse
and I need to go bed now...
