ZServerSSL looks interesting, but the setup for NT is atrocious (you have to install Perl, have Visual C++, install an assembler if you want decent speed, etceteras). A version of the library built by the author (or Digital Solutions, or some other trusted source) and ready-to-install would make it a far more practical solution.
I've just put up a Win32 distribution of M2Crypto; this is the original source package plus one DLL for M2Crypto and two for OpenSSL. See http://www.post1.com/home/ngps/m2 ZServerSSL is in the demo/ directory.
Make installation an unzip-into-directory and a script to walk through generating the certificate and you'll see adoption far more likely... at least, until Python 1.6 with rumoured SSL sockets built-in arrives :) .
Sorry, installation is still by-hand. ;-) For certificate generation and such, I've been using CA.pl, OpenSSL's Perl program for this purpose. I've toyed with rewriting CA.pl in Python, but other more urgent itches beckon. ;-) You may want to look at PyCA by Michael Stroeder (ascii-ification spelling error, sorry). Ask Parnassus for url. For some shop talk 1.6's SSL, hop over to python-crypto@egroups.com. Cheers. -- Ng Pheng Siong <ngps@post1.com> * http://www.post1.com/home/ngps
