Subject: [PATCH] crda: Throw verbose error message if M2Crypto is missing
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2009 14:59:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200901181459.25771.mb@bu3sch.de> (raw)

Instead of throwing a cryptic Python backtrace, throw a better error message, if
the M2Crypto module is not installed.
