Here is the unmasked backtrace, along with a pprint of the headers:

It's currently possible to work around this by installing python-ssl to the client.

I have the problem too.

desai: You asked me which version I run on irc. Its 1.0.0 on lenny without python-ssl.

[solj]

Looks like this is fixed by [r5626].

[Martin Schwier <…>]

Is a bugfix release of 1.0.0 planed to fix this or do I have to use the trunk version?

[desai]

yeah, we will have 1.0.1 out quite soon. (rc2 will be cut later on today)
