Ooops.

No, I don't. How about the M2Crypto website, or you can ask on the
M2Crypto mailing list (if there is one), or ask M2Crypto's author.

On the other hand, wouldn't it be better in the long run to make the
custom-built Python a little less custom-built? ;-) In the long run,
it will cost you more and more time (and you or your employer money)
to always find pre-built libraries instead of compiling the code
yourself.
