i would love to use my xbmc to check my gmail, but since poplib in python 2.3 dosen't support ssl this is impossible.
i was just reading up on poplib and in version 2.4 they added ssl support (yay).
how could i upgrade python on xbmc? i checked the cvs and the latest version is 2.3.4.
i would rather not compile anything (a pre-packaged version would be great), but i'm sure thats asking for a lot, so if someone could point me in the right direction i would be eternally gratefull!
edit//
after speak with some people in #xbmc i was informed the only way this is going to be done is to hack the hell out of python and compile it with the xdk......waaay beyond anything i can do. someone recommended an html wrapper for the gmail website, so i guess thats what i will have to do.
