[Twisted-Python] [ANN] pyOpenSSL 0.15*.1*

[Hynek Schlawack]

Hello again,

since releasing software is so much fun, 0.15.1 is out on PyPI too.

It fixes a small regression that shouldn’t affect you in practice but 
breaks the Twisted test suite.

See https://github.com/pyca/pyopenssl/pull/225 for details.

Brown baggily yours,
