SSL is not supported in the current PyPI version

[Chris Malton]

When communicating with an OpenERP-based server which is reverse proxied through an SSL-enabled webserver, I receive this traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/Junari/fileit/connectors/email.py", line 172, in poll
    self.source({ "message": obj, "outer": None, "class": "email"} ) # Raise the source

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openerplib/main.py", line 83, in send
    return getattr(service, method)(*args)

    return self.__send(self.__name, args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1578, in __request
    verbose=self.__verbose
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1264, in request
    return self.single_request(host, handler, request_body, verbose)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1312, in single_request
    response.msg,
ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for server:443/xmlrpc/common: 400 Bad Request>

I believe this is caused by line 89 in openerplib/__init__.py as it forces HTTP communication regardless of port.
xmlrpclib supports SSL-based communication, so it should be possible to engineer this into the library with relatively little effort.

Just noticed that the latest version does support SSL - however the version in PyPI doesn't have this feature.

Please could I request that a new version be uploaded to PyPI.
