\section{Introduction \label{intro}}
-The reason this module exists at all is that the SSL support in the socket
-module in the Python 2.1 distribution (which is what we used, of course I
-cannot speak for later versions) is severely limited.
+The reason pyOpenSSL was created is that the SSL support in the socket module
+in Python 2.1 (the contemporary version of Python when the pyOpenSSL project
+was begun) was severely limited. Other OpenSSL wrappers for Python at the time
+were also limited, though in different ways. Unfortunately, Python's standard
+library SSL support has remained weak, although other packages (such as
+M2Crypto\footnote{See \url{http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/MeTooCrypto}})
+have made great advances and now equal or exceed pyOpenSSL's functionality.
-When asking about SSL on the comp.lang.python newsgroup (or on
-python-list@python.org) people usually pointed you to the M2Crypto package.
-The M2Crypto.SSL module does implement a lot of OpenSSL's functionality but
-unfortunately its error handling system does not seem to be finished,
-especially for non-blocking I/O. I think that much of the reason for this
-is that M2Crypto\footnote{See \url{http://www.post1.com/home/ngps/m2/}} is
-developed using SWIG\footnote{See \url{http://swig.sourceforge.net/}}. This
-makes it awkward to create functions that e.g. can return both an integer and
-NULL since (as far as I know) you basically write C functions and SWIG makes
-wrapper functions that parses the Python argument list and calls your C
-function, and finally transforms your return value to a Python object.
-
+The reason pyOpenSSL continues to be maintained is that there is a significant
+user community around it, as well as a large amount of software which depends
+on it. It is a great benefit to many people for pyOpenSSL to continue to exist
+and advance.
