Just updated:

$ ls -la  /usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/_ssl.dll
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13824 2007-05-19 00:02 /usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/_ssl.dll

$ python -c "import socket; socket.ssl"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ssl'

$ python -c "import socket"
$ python -c "import locale"
$ python -c "import crypt"
<works>

So it might be that the build of "ssl" DLL is broken?
