So apparently I now write Python.
In a flustered, last-minute, push to get the Fire Eagle Python API binding ready to ship, I had to switch it to use HTTPS (and point to fireeagle.yahooapis.com, natch).
Given that I’m relatively new to Python, it took a moment to realise I had simply to switch from httplib.HTTPConnection to httplib.HTTPSConnection. This would have all been fine, save one issue: apparently, the otherwise wonderful MacPorts doesn’t appear to link OpenSSL in Python by default (which, naturally, is a requirement for HTTPS).
Without OpenSSL linked, trying to use HTTPSConnection (or, one would imagine, any SSL-related task) results in an error akin to AttributeError: ’module’ object has no attribute ’ssl’.
To rectify this is, actually, very simple: run sudo port install py25-socket-ssl in the Terminal (assuming you’re using Python 2.5: other versions of Python will require different ports).

Given that I’m sitting [or was, at the time of writing—Ed.] in a large, metal tube at about 35,000ft., and Ben is writing for his blog, I’ve been gripped by the desire to write for mine, too. Miracles, apparently, will never cease.
For the third year running, now, I’m on my way to Austin, Texas for SXSW .

The first year ( 2006 ), travelling with Fatty (whom I had met but once before), was an incredible experience. I got to make lots of new friends and, g... more

For those of you that haven’t seen it already, go look at Fire Eagle . Do it now.
Good, innit?
For those of you that don’t quite get it, the point is that it’s a central location-brokering service. You tell Fire Eagle where you are (or set your devices and web apps to tell it), and other applications can, if you allow them, use that data in fun and interesting ways (think auto-geo-tagging of photos on flickr, or mapping where your friends are, to name the most obvious... more
