can't find socket.ssl() on win32

[ds]

i'm running under win2k trying to implement an ssl socket, and keep 
getting the error
File "C:\Code\Python\ssl\NewsSrc.py", line 67, in connect
     ssl = socket.ssl(sock, None, None)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ssl'
i'm running this under ActiveState version 2.2.2, but i have also tried 
under ActiveState version 2.3 anyone have any ideas?

	thanks in advance.
