thanks for responding so quickly. I tried as advised (installed py25-socket-ssl)
more or less successful:

(only thing I'm not sure of is,  whether the `libiconv' error is irrelevant?)

anyway, I now have a _ssl.so in

/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_ssl.so

but `hg convert ...' (according to ktrace) now seemlingly looks only in

25045 Python   NAMI  "/opt/local/bin/_ssl.so"
25045 Python   NAMI "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/_ssl.so"
25045 Python   NAMI "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-darwin/_ssl.so"

25045 Python   NAMI "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_ssl.so"
25045 Python   NAMI "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_ssl.so"

for the _ssl.so file...
(strangely, `hg' no longer looks, e.g., in /opt/local/lib/svn-python2.5/_ssl.so as in
my first `ktrace' run!?)

so I'm still getting the

"Subversion python bindings could not be loaded"
message.

any more ideas? am I doing something stupid wrong? e.g., I'm not at all acquainted
with phyton, so must/can I define/modify the python library path?

greetings,
