I followed the instrunction on this site http://paltman.com/2007/nov/15/getting-ssl-support-in-python-251/ to install openssl.
When I go to test i get this as the output:
test_rude_shutdown ...
test_basic ...
Segmentation fault
How would I resolve this?
First, make sure which python returns /usr/local/bin/python. If not, use the Python you just built instead of your system copy! If it does, try creating a crash dump.
Before running the tests:
ulimit -c unlimited
Then run the crashy test again. Take the file which materializes in your current directory. It's a crash dump. Open a bug report, attach the dump, and ask the Python folks for help.
