Re: Python ssl handling could be better...

You're preaching to the choir...I agree there should be support, but don't
go all talking about changing defaults without at least some thought
involved.

What about self-signed certs in my closed network?
What about guests on a network behind a web proxy that MITMs 80/443?
What if you're brokering a connection, not for some strict security sake,
but just because you can and gain a little bit of privacy? Have any personal
web sites/servers you don't *need* commercial certs for but want something
anyway?

In an ideal world, I hear what you're saying. But we're far from ideal...

I think we should be happy with the inclusion of such options in 3.2....
