Comment 11 for bug 236190

Now, as far as we know the combination of Tahoe-1.1+Twisted-8.1+pyOpenSSL-0.7 doesn't lead to any bad behavior except for a vast number of unit tests failing doing to failure to close connections. One workaround, if we can't get an {{{easy_install}}}'able {{{pyOpenSSL-0.6.tar.gz}}} would be to code up an explicit "skip-test-like" behavior in our Makefile or perhaps in our test code to skip all these numerous failing tests if pyOpenSSL v0.7 is detected. I'm not sure exactly how that would be implemented. It also feels a little bit uncomfortable to deploy Tahoe-1.1+Twisted-8.1+pyOpenSSL-0.7 because I'm not entirely sure that the bug wouldn't lead to other problems for Tahoe users. (Doubtless pyOpenSSL-0.6 is more buggy that pyOpenSSL-0.7, but at least we have experience with it and there are no known anomalies which could be explained by bugs in pyOpenSSL-0.6.)
