[pywbem-devel] python3-wbem and m2crypto

[Remi C. (Imap) <rem...@gm...>]

Hi

At the moment python3-wbem does not need m2crypto, apparently. Which is 
really great because installing it on Windows is extremely painful (for 
example, it does not work with the latest SWIG version: 
https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/344 ).

Would it be also possible for pywbem python2, to use something else than 
m2crypto ?

Thanks

Remi
