Last Thursday, I integrated the pyOpenSSL package for Python2.4 to Solaris Nevad a build106. This means that the pyOpenSSL package (SUNWpython-pyopenssl) will b e publicly available on OpenSolaris, starting from build 106.

PyOpenSSL provides a high-level interface to the functions in the OpenSSL librar y and it includes the following three modules:

• crypto - Generic cryptographic module.
• rand - An interface to the OpenSSL pseudo randon number generator.
• SSL - An interface to the SSL-specific parts of OpenSSL.

The original source is provided by http://pyopenssl.sourceforge.net and the late st version is 0.8.

Important files include:

• Moudules - are located /usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/OpenSSL.
• The user manual - is located at /usr/share/doc/pyOpenSSL.
• The sample/test scripts - are located at /usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/OpenSSL/test.
