I noticed I have this warning:
WARNING 2011-05-07 00:50:51,371 urlfetch_stub.py:106] No ssl package found. urlfetch will not be able to validate SSL certificates.
So I downloaded the ssl 1.15 library.
Tried to install using setup.py and got this:
error: package directory 'ssl' does not exist
Update:
I added python to the path, now I’m getting a new error, something about visual studio 2003, and having to use MingW32. Adding -cmingw32 parameter doesn’t work (option m is not recognised).
After trying python 26 on my computer, the only conclusion is that I’m experiencing this bug:
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=4824&q=ssl&colspec=ID%20Type%20Component%20Status%20Stars%20Summary%20Language%20Priority%20Owner%20Log
(because python 26 is supposed to have ssl built in)
Oh well.
