Python 3.1 with ssl support

[lister171254]

I am trying to build Python 3.1 with ssl support, but nothing I try works.

I have modified Modules/Setup.dist to enable ssl support and set the include files and libraries to the appropriate place for Ubuntu (I think).
--------------------Setup.dist snippet -----------------------
# Socket module helper for socket(2)
_socket socketmodule.c

# Socket module helper for SSL support; you must comment out the other
# socket line above, and possibly edit the SSL variable:
#SSL=
_ssl _ssl.c \
-DUSE_SSL -I/usr/include \
-L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto
---------------------------------------------------------------

I get no compile or link errors, but when I try this out I get the following:

-------------- Test ------------------
llist@LeosPc:/usr$ python3.1
Python 3.1 (r31:73572, Jul 20 2009, 12:27:32)
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import socket
>>> socket.ssl
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ssl'
>>>
-----------------------------------------

Thanks

Do not know if this helps - ssl is a separate module to socket - so need to
import ssl
see: http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/ssl.html?highlight=ssl#module-ssl
###################################
import socket, ssl, pprint

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

# require a certificate from the server
ssl_sock = ssl.wrap_socket(s,
ca_certs="/etc/ca_certs_file",
cert_reqs=ssl.CERT_REQUIRED)

ssl_sock.connect(('www.verisign.com', 443))

print(repr(ssl_sock.getpeername()))
pprint.pprint(ssl_sock.getpeercert())
print(pprint.pformat(ssl_sock.getpeercert()))

# Set a simple HTTP request -- use http.client in actual code.
ssl_sock.write("""GET / HTTP/1.0\r
Host: www.verisign.com\r\n\r\n""")

# Read a chunk of data. Will not necessarily
# read all the data returned by the server.
data = ssl_sock.read()

# note that closing the SSLSocket will also close the underlying socket
ssl_sock.close()

Maybe you can help me ...

I'm wanting to install python3.1 - specifically for ttk support. Have tried build ing from source using python3.1_3.1.orig.tar.gz(ubuntu) Python-3.1.tar.bz2(python.org) but keep getting
..........
Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found:
_curses _curses_panel _dbm
_gdbm _hashlib _sqlite3
_ssl _tkinter bz2
readline
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.
The thing is I do not know where to get the header files for the 'bits'.

Python have a section on SSL ....

http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/ssl.html

Hope that is of help.

Phill.

Just managed to sort 3.1 out - to get all modules compiled had to install

Did not do anything extra in terms of configuration - for ssl
