title: How to install Python ssl module on Windows?
body: <p>The Google App Engine Launcher tells me:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>WARNING appengine_rpc.py:399 ssl module not found.
  Without the ssl module, the identity of the remote host cannot be verified, and
  connections may NOT be secure. To fix this, please install the ssl module from
  <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ssl" rel="noreferrer">http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ssl</a> .</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>I downloaded the package and it contained a <code>setup.py</code> file. I ran:</p>
  <pre><code>python setup.py install
  </code></pre>
  <p>and then:</p>
  <pre><code>Python was built with Visual Studio 2003; blablabla use MinGW32
  </code></pre>
  <p>Then I installed MinGW32 and now the compilation doesn't work. The end of the compilation errors contains:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>ssl/_ssl2.c:1561: error: `CRYPTO_LOCK' undeclared (first use in this function)</p>
  <p>error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>What should I do?</p>
