Description: SSL wrapper for socket objects (2.3, 2.4, 2.5 compatible)
 .
 The old socket.ssl() support for TLS over sockets is being
 superseded in Python 2.6 by a new 'ssl' module.  This package
 brings that module to older Python releases, 2.3.5 and up (it may
 also work on older versions of 2.3, but we haven't tried it).
 .
 It's quite similar to the 2.6 ssl module.  There's no stand-alone
 documentation for this package; instead, just use the development
 branch documentation for the SSL module at
 http://docs.python.org/dev/library/ssl.html.
 .
 Version 1.0 had a problem with Python 2.5.1 -- the structure of
 the socket object changed from earlier versions.
 .
 Version 1.1 was missing various package metadata information.
 .
 Version 1.2 added more package metadata, and support for
 ssl.get_server_certificate(), and the PEM-to-DER encode/decode
 routines.  Plus integrated Paul Moore's patch to setup.py for
 Windows.  Plus added support for asyncore, and asyncore HTTPS
 server test.
 .
 Version 1.3 fixed a bug in the test suite.
 .
 Version 1.4 incorporated use of -static switch.
 .
 Version 1.5 fixed bug in Python version check affecting build on
 Python 2.5.0.
 .
 Version 1.7 (and 1.6) fixed some bugs with asyncore support (recv and
 send not being called on the SSLSocket class, wrong semantics for
 sendall).
 .
 Version 1.8 incorporated some code from Chris Stawarz to handle
 sockets which are set to non-blocking before negotiating the SSL
 session.
 .
 Version 1.9 makes ssl.SSLError a subtype of socket.error.
 .
 Version 1.10 fixes a bug in sendall().
 .
 Version 1.11 includes the MANIFEST file, and by default will turne
 unexpected EOFs occurring during a read into a regular EOF.  It also
 removes the code for SSLFileStream, to use the regular socket module's
 _fileobject instead.
 .
 Version 1.12 fixes the bug in SSLSocket.accept() reported by Georg
 Brandl, and adds a test case for that fix.
 .
 Version 1.13 fixes a bug in calling do_handshake() automatically
 on non-blocking sockets.  Thanks to Giampaolo Rodola.  Now includes
 real asyncore test case.
 .
 Version 1.14 incorporates some fixes to naming (rename "recv_from" to
 "recvfrom" and "send_to" to "sendto"), and a fix to the asyncore test
 case to unregister the connection handler when the connection is
 closed.  It also exposes the SSL shutdown via the "unwrap" method
 on an SSLSocket.  It exposes "subjectPublicKey" in the data received
 from a peer cert.
 .
 Version 1.15 fixes a bug in write retries, where the output buffer has
 changed location because of garbage collection during the interim.
 It also provides the new flag, PROTOCOL_NOSSLv2, which selects SSL23,
 but disallows actual use of SSL2.
 .
 Authorship: A cast of dozens over the years have written the Python
 SSL support, including Marc-Alan Lemburg, Robin Dunn, GvR, Kalle
 Svensson, Skip Montanaro, Mark Hammond, Martin von Loewis, Jeremy
 Hylton, Andrew Kuchling, Georg Brandl, Bill Janssen, Chris Stawarz,
 Neal Norwitz, and many others.  Thanks to Paul Moore, David Bolen and
 Mark Hammond for help with the Windows side of the house.  And it's
 all based on OpenSSL, which has its own cast of dozens!
