I think that we should use the standard library SSL module rather than pyOpenSSL, unless there is a very specific reason *not* to. Depending on a third-party library is a bad idea, especially when a standard library will work, for two reasons: 1) reducing dependencies; 2) not depending on libraries with questionable futures (i.e., we don't know when they're going to be updated). Do I smell a branch?
Besides the newness of the ssl module and the labor of actually getting it to work in CP, I'm just waiting for Windows binaries before making the switch. Assuming those three things happen, I'm all for moving to the ssl module.
