Description: 
        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        superseded in Python 2.6 by a new 'ssl' module.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.  The only significant
        difference is that the ssl.SSLError exception does not inherit from
        socket.error, as it does in Python 2.6, because socket.error is not
        exposed at the C level in Python 2.3.
        
        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.
        
        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, 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!
