I thought the latest package had ssl support.  I will check into it tonight and rebuild if needed.

A quick rebuild with --with-ssl does the trick.  Wouldn't hurt to have rebuilt against the new openssl anyway.

I will test and make sure I didn't leave out any other support (sqlite, tcl-tk) and submit a rebuilt version.  Thanks for the find.

I know what it is, I forgot to include in the startup script to copy over the /usr/local/bin binaries as real files otherwise the extension would not work.  I will fix it tonight.

As a temporary workaround, one can use this command to put the python binaries in their right place:

cp -af /tmp/tcloop/python/usr/local/bin/* /usr/local/bin/

Uploading fixed version as I speak.
