It should be a bit easier than that.  If you grab the pyssl module 
from....

	http://pyobjc.sf.net/software/

.... it should compile with a simple ...

	python setup.py build

... and, looking with the build directory, you'll find _socket.so (or 
something similar).

This .so simply needs to be somewhere in the PYTHONPATH (sys.path) 
before the socket module installed with Python.   So, assuming that the 
Resources directory of the application is before /usr/lib/python2.2 in 
sys.path (which it is, I'm fairly certain), you simply need to copy 
_socket.so into the Resources/ directory of your application.

You shouldn't need a custom NSBundle/CFBundle just for the socket 
module.
