Update: These patches have been merged into official package (version 1.16).
This is a fixed version of ssl package (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ssl).
To install it, do
pip install sslfix
or download it from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/sslfix
Note, that the actual package installed is ssl and not sslfix (it's a drop-in replacement).
The fixes are:
- Remove installing tests system-wide (fixes "permission denied" error when installing into virtualenv).
- Add /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu and /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu to search path (fixes compilation on ubuntu 12.04).
- Do not use SSLv2_method if not present (fixes ImportError: ssl/_ssl2.so: undefined symbol: SSLv2_method).
