old thread: SSL support for socket module for server sockets

[- c o v e n t r y -]

I was reviewing the archives and ran accross this patch submited for
python 2.0, but too late to make it in... Is there a way to create a
SSL server socket in 2.2, or did this slip through the cracks?

>>>
I don't think anybody has posted a patch for this, so I will.  The SSL
support in the socket module doesn't support server sockets (ones
where
you call s.accept() on them).  This patch creates a function in the
socket
module named sslserv which is analogous to the ssl function except
this one
will work for server sockets.
