INTRODUCTION
The eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution includes everything you need to
get started with SSL in Python.
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:

NEWS
This new release of the eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution updates the
included OpenSSL version to the latest OpenSSL 1.0.1h version and adds
a few more context options:
New in OpenSSL
--------------
 * Updated included OpenSSL libraries from OpenSSL to 1.0.1h. See
 http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt for a complete list
 of changes, most important:
 - CVE-2014-0224: An attacker can force the use of weak keying
 material in OpenSSL SSL/TLS clients and servers. This can be
 exploited by a Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack where the attacker
 can decrypt and modify traffic from the attacked client and
 server.
 - CVE-2014-0221: By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an OpenSSL
 DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
 in a DoS attack. Only applications using OpenSSL as a DTLS client
 are affected.
 - CVE-2014-3470: OpenSSL TLS clients enabling anonymous ECDH
 ciphersuites are subject to a DoS attack.
New in pyOpenSSL
----------------
 * Added the following new options for context.set_options():
 OP_TLSEXT_PADDING, OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG,
 OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION,
 OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION.
 * Documented all supported context.set_options() options (to the
 extent possible using the OpenSSL documentation itself).
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 x86 and x64, Linux x86 and x64, Mac OS X
PPC, x86 and x64.
We've also added egg-file distribution versions of our eGenix.com
pyOpenSSL Distribution for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X to the
available download options. These make setups using e.g. zc.buildout
and other egg-file based installers a lot easier.
