It comes with an easy-to-use installer that includes the most recent OpenSSL library versions in pre-compiled form, making your application independent of OS provided OpenSSL libraries: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/pyOpenSSL/ pyOpenSSL is an open-source Python add-on that allows writing SSL/TLS- aware network applications as well as certificate management tools: https://launchpad.net/pyopenssl/ OpenSSL is an open-source implementation of the SSL/TLS protocol: http://www.openssl.org/ ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS This new release of the eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution includes the following updates: New in OpenSSL -------------- * Updated included OpenSSL libraries from OpenSSL 1.0.1r to 1.0.1s. See https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20160301.txt ?for a complete list of changes. The following fixes are relevant for pyOpenSSL applications: - CVE-2016-0800 (DROWN attack) A cross-protocol attack was discovered that could lead to decryption of TLS sessions by using a server supporting SSLv2 and EXPORT cipher suites as a Bleichenbacher RSA padding oracle. As additional result of this attack, the default OpenSSL configuration no longer includes the SSLv2 protocol support starting with 1.0.1s. - Several low priority issues related to memory leaks. * Disabled SSLv2 support in all our OpenSSL library builds (no-ssl2). * Disabled TLS compression in all our OpenSSL library builds (no-comp). This may lead to problems with other libraries that still expect to find these APIs. pyOpenSSL itself does not use them. * Updated the Mozilla CA root bundle to version 2016-03-01. Nothing much changed, except the date of the bundle file. Please see the product changelog for the full set of changes. http://www.egenix.com/products/python/pyOpenSSL/changelog.html pyOpenSSL / OpenSSL Binaries Included ------------------------------------- In addition to providing sources, we make binaries available that include both pyOpenSSL and the necessary OpenSSL libraries for all supported platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and FreeBSD, for x86 and x64. To simplify installation, we have uploaded a web installer to PyPI which will automatically choose the right binary for your platform, so a simple pip install egenix-pyopenssl will get you the package with OpenSSL libraries installed.
