must i install Visual Studio for python ssl module?

[saintthor]

for ssl module, i downloaded ssl-1.15.tar.gz from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ssl.
but it is source, no exe file. i tried to install it, message as
below.

D:\Python25\ssl-1.15>setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building 'ssl._ssl2' extension
error: Python was built with Visual Studio version 7.1, and extensions
need to b
e built with the same version of the compiler, but it isn't installed.

where can i get a exe file or how can i install this module in other
way?

You could download the free version of Visual Studio and then try to compile it with that.. but... you'd be on your own figuring out how to get it to compile after installing Visual Studio.

I have Visual C++ 2005 Express and Visual C++ 2008 Express installed and I still get that message. Did anyone here successfully built and integrated the SSL module into Python for Google App Engine?

I once asked and received a compiled copy. But I have to confess I
haven't tried it. There is always a risk that someone could have added
in some vulnerability to a pre-compiled copy. Google used to
distribute a compiled copy at this link:
http://web-feature-labs.googlecode.com/files/ssl-py2.5-win32-1.15.exe

however, they stopped for some reason. I wish they would put a known-
clean copy back up.
