Empathy can’t connect to MSN/live messenger anymore

Hi !
I cannot connect to MSN (or Live Messenger) anymore with Empathy (using telepathy-butterfly and papyon library). There is always a network error.

Using the same settings (Server messenger.hotmail.com and Port 1863), Pidgin succeeds, so I believe there is a problem with telepathy-butterfly and/or papyon.

Does someone have an idea ?

Thank you very much in advance.

just in case it's usefuI for you, I'm using the one from [gnome-unstable] and connects as expected.

I've tried to use [gnome-unstable] but the error persisted.
Then, I figured out that when running telepathy-butterfly directly the following exception was thrown:

[root@archlinux ~]# /usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-butterfly
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-butterfly", line 39, in <module>

    import OpenSSL.SSL as OpenSSL
ImportError: No module named OpenSSL.SSL

The pyOpenSSL works fine with python3 but not with python2.
A pyOpenSSL installation fixed the problem:

[root@archlinux ~]# easy_install-2.7 --upgrade pyOpenSSL

Now it works flawlessly!

The pyOpenSSL works fine with python3 but not with python2.
A pyOpenSSL installation fixed the problem:

That's because you need the package python2-pyopenssl. The package pyopenssl is for python3.

I had python2-pyopenssl installed and it didn't work.
Nevertheless, I reinstalled it and Empathy connected to MSN!

Thanks.
