Hi folks, This is just a note to highlight the fact that I tweaked the "Opting out" section in PEP 476 based on various discussions I've had over the past few months: https://hg.python.org/peps/rev/dfd96ee9d6a8 The notable changes: * the example monkeypatching code handles AttributeError when looking up "ssl._create_unverified_context", in order to accommodate older versions of Python that don't have PEP 476 implemented * new paragraph making it clearer that while the intended use case for the monkeypatching trick is as a workaround to handle environments where you *know* HTTPS certificate verification won't work properly (including explicit references to sitecustomize.py and Standard Operating Environments for Python), there's also a secondary use case in allowing applications to provide a system administrator controlled setting to globally disable certificate verification (hence the change to the example code) * new paragraph making it explicit that even though we've improved Python's default behaviour, particularly security sensitive applications should still provide their own context rather than relying on the defaults Regards, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan at gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
