It doesn't offer SSL, however. I've compiled a list of SSL libraries for
Python:
http://www.cs.fhm.edu/~ifw00065/pyssl/
The "Python OpenSSL wrappers" are BSD licensed and could probably serve
as a good basis for a SSL library in Python itself. It's an early
release, that I can crash easily if I want to ;-) Also, it would have to
be modified to fit Python's coding standards (basically, the docstrings
are all written in DocBook; these would have to be translated to normal
text). But it's a working solution to start from.
The other BSD licensed one is M2Crypto, which is around much longer, but
requires SWIG to build. I think SSL support is not reason enough to
require SWIG for Python builds. So this one is possibly out. The third
one is LGPL licensed, so it's out immediately.
