secure sockets

[adrian]

hi,

i need to use use urllib with an https url i.e. using secure sockets.
I'm on win32 with version 2 python. apparently i need to build python
with the secure socket option turned on but i can't find out how i
turn this option on. also do i have to build the whole of python or
just the socket dll? or is there an easier way to do this using a
third party dll?

any help very much appreciated.

adrian.
