    SSL in Python

    I noticed in the documentation that they have ssl() in Python, but it says
    only if configured. I just can't find info on how to configure SSL in
    Python.
    My goal is to write a simple p-2-p chat, but have all info encrypted between
    clients.
    Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated!

      Python's built-in SSL support only works for clients, not servers.
      Several third party modules exist to provide server support, PyOpenSSL my
      personal favorite. The gory details of this (and other networking issues)
      are dealt with by Twisted: http://www.twistedmatrix.com/.
