[pyOpenSSL] pickling x509 objet

[mdusi\@libero\.it <md...@li...>]

I've installed python 2.2.3 on winxp and successfully imported pyOpenSSL =
library.
I need to send by socket a certificate '.pem' but, after I load=
ed it using crypto.load_certificate() function, I can't pickle this x509 =
object. How can I send it using a socket? Are there other methods?

By =
the way, I've also a Mandriva OS, but I can't import pyOpenSSL library...=
can you explain me what exactly should I do? How can I compile it? [setup=
.py build/install doesn't work and causes error-exit]I'm not a expert abo=
ut linux system and C language, so please be redundant... 

Thank you v=
ery much for assistance
Cordially,
Maurizio
