+
+ As of 0.14, pyOpenSSL is a pure-Python project.
+ That means that if you encounter *any* kind of compiler errors, pyOpenSSL's bugtracker is the **wrong** place to report them because we *cannot* help you.
+
+ Please take the time to read the errors and report them/ask help from the appropriate project.
+ The most likely culprit being `cryptography <https://cryptography.io/>`_ that contains OpenSSL's library bindings.
