Hello ! I have two programs(created with python 2.7), that exchange data(phrases or/and files) using sockets. What i want, is the connection to be secure, so no one can read or access these data. I tried using encryption algorithms, but that wasn't much practical. So i found that i could use SSL/TLS.... but i can't pull enough info from google and doc's, to "transform" my code. Is there someone that can make a very simple code on how we use SSL/TLS ? Thanks.

What I have tried:

I tried to find information through the official python SSL doc, and some stackoverflow articles.

It took less than 1 second to find 17.3. ssl — TLS/SSL wrapper for socket objects — Python 2.7.13 documentation[^].

I found this webpage:

bearcave SSL example

that gives a full example on how to use SSL... so that you can understand everything... and then transform this knowledge to your own "SSL Connection". I leave it here, hoping that others will find it useful as i did.
