Hi,
I've downloaded MacPython-OSX-2.32-2.dmg file from the wxPython site.
wxPython works just fine for me on OSX.
The only problem is, I need to use SSL. On linux it just works, on
windows, I found a _socket.pyd drop in and it works, on OSX is where I'm
stuck.
When I went to the MacPython site I found a bunch of .bin and .hqx
files, the when I tried to install the MacPython*.*.*full.bin it said
something about OS 9 and 8.6??? so I didn't... I'm confused (not a mac
guy).
- What do I need to do to get SSL enabled in the MacPython.dmg you
distribute??
- Is there a source package that I can rebuild??
- is there a bunch of drop-in files like windows that I can just drop in
and it would work??
- Should I go ahead and install the MacPython-2.3a1-full.bin from the
MacPython site and see what happenes?? (I'm assuming that full means,
has SSL support also.. )

AFAIK, Python will include SSL support if it finds the right libs on the build system. Apparently mine doesn't have them, so I'll check into that. You can try building the Python distribution yourself, it's not too hard. Just look at the Mac/OSX/README's in the Python ditribution.
On a related note, Jack Jansen has taken my build scripts and encorporated them into the Python distribution so I expect him to be doing OS X builds from now on.

Not necessarily. I think it just means that everything it installs is included in that file, with no web-install of optional components. It's only OS 9 anyway so if you want OS X support (and wxPython) you'll need tp use my builds (or your own.)

Unfortunately, my access to the OSX machine is just to prove that
wxPython runs on OSX, nothing I can do any tinkering work on, so I will
be waiting for any news I get from you on that.
I found this, http://www.astro.washington.edu/owen/InstallingPythonOnJaguar.html
It may prove helpful. At the end of the "Install Python from source"
paragraph it talks about enabling SSL and it has:
"Other build instructions were obtained from wxPython build instructions
by "Robin" (last name unknown), with a pointer by Chris Barker."
I'm assuming they mean Robin Dunn, might want to get that corrected

As a cross-platform developer I found that MacOS X has the SSL libraries installed,
but not the include files.
It was on my machine sufficient to copy the directory /usr/include/ssl to my Mac.
