Thanks!
I haven't yet done any serious testing of this prerelease but I did
import some modules from it and I think this is pretty embarassing:
>>>import twisted.internet.ssl
/home/exarkun/Projects/Twisted/trunk/twisted/internet/_sslverify.py:119:
UserWarning: You do not have the service_identity module installed.
Please install it from <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/service_identity>.
Without the service_identity module and a recent enough pyOpenSSL
tosupport it, Twisted can perform only rudimentary TLS client
hostnameverification. Many valid certificate/hostname mappings may be
rejected.
verifyHostname, VerificationError = _selectVerifyImplementation()
This is a warning that just about every Twisted user is going to see and
it's confusing (_sslverify.py? what?) and poorly formatted.
