Description of problem

got this traceback while testing virt-factory stuff on rawhide

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: SSL_Transport instance has no attribute '_use_datetime'


It looks like the patch here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1120353&group_id=5470&atid=305470

which made it into python2.5, causes m2crypto's xmlrpclib to break. 

looks like setting self._use_datetime in the Transport class in
/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/M2Crypto/m2xmlrpclib.py  causes this to work.
