I can't see how that would be something the application would know. For example, pip allows me to specify an "alternate cert bundle" but not a single additional cert. So IIUC, I can't use my local index that serves https using a self-signed cert. I'd find it hard to argue that it's pip's responsibility to think of that use case - pretty much any program that interacts with a web service *might* need to interact with a self-signed dummy version, if only under test conditions. Or did you mean that Python should provide such a setting that would cover all applications written in Python? Paul
