py-libcloud is missing backports.ssl-match-hostname dependency

[hans@…]

When Apache libcloud 0.17 is used with Python 2.x, it now requires backports.ssl-match-hostname. I'm getting this stack dump:

Traceback (most recent call last):

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers py-libcloud), if any.

Thanks for spotting this. Should be fixed by r139671.

I just committed an update to 0.18.0, in r139672. This also removed the deprecated py26 and py33 subports.

As version 0.18.0 seems to rely on the the standard library where possible (i.e. py27 >= 2.7.9 and py34), the dependency on backports.ssl_match_hostname was removed again.

Thanks for the Head-Up!
