How to implement secure client-server communication over https using python and m2crypto?

I want to secure the communication between a server and multiple clients. The communication goes this way:

[1] The client connects to a specific page at the server and checks for a software version.

[2] If the version on client is not the latest, the client

[3] connects to specific page and downloads the software update

I want to secure the [3] part, so this connection must be over https. What I have done is to install m2crypto to the client and the server and with a python script, generate a pair of private/public keys. The point is the server to use the client's public key to sign the data to send.

How do I configure my server (apache) so that the connection is over http?
