I have python 2.4.4 installed on Ubuntu for use with Zope 2.9.8 (plone). I am moving my zope/python install from a hosted server to a new server of my own. I am setting up everything from scratch for the first time. When testing my installation, I get an error message with one of my scripts which I am having trouble resolving. I am wondering what module or configuration I may be missing. Here is the traceback:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ssl'

Someone suggested trying:

The first thing I'd check is whether your socket module has an ssl
function:

Here's what I get:

>>> import socket
>>> socket.ssl
<function ssl at 0x679f0>

And this worked ok for me- I got similar result. I am unsure what to try next. Anyone have any suggestions?

Is your Zope version for Python24 or Python25?

I originally installed the Plone 2.5.5 Universal installer which installs python 2.4.4. This config gave me the current error so I installed plone 2.4.4 from source in another location. I then changed the zope config files to point to the source installed python and also put all of the versions of python and library directories into search path (this was more shot in the dark wishful thinking).
