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:

pyOpenSSL is an open-source Python add-on that allows writing SSL/TLS-
aware network applications as well as certificate management tools:

OpenSSL is an open-source implementation of the SSL/TLS protocol:

NEWS

This new release of the eGenix.com pyOpenSSL Distribution updates only
the included OpenSSL version to address a serious bug in
OpenSSL 1.0.1 versions:

New in OpenSSL
--------------

 * Updated included OpenSSL libraries from OpenSSL 1.0.1e to
   1.0.1f. See http://www.openssl.org/news/news.html and
   http://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html for a complete
   list of changes, most important:

   - CVE-2014-0160 ("Heartbleed Bug"): A missing bounds check in the
     handling of the TLS heartbeat extension can be used to reveal
     up to 64kB of memory to a connected client or server. This issue
     did not affect versions of OpenSSL prior to 1.0.1. For information,
     also have a look at the Heartbeet Bug website:
     http://heartbleed.com/

As always, we provide binaries 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.
