You are misunderstanding the goal of PEP 543. It's not about providing
implementations of various backends. The PEP merely defines an minimal
abstraction layer. Neither the PEP nor the API are finalized or complete
yet, too Some parts of the PEP must be changed before it can be
finalized. Cory and I are discussion the matter.

Python 3.7's ssl module won't be compatible with PEP 543. For 3.8 it
*might* be possible to provide a 543 compatible implementation on top of
the ssl module.

I will not work on SChannel or SecureTransport, since I have neither
expertise, knowledge, interest or resources to work on other
implementations. AFAIK Steve would rather plug in Windows' cert
validation API into OpenSSL than to provide another TLS implementation.
For Apple ... no clue. How about you contact Apple support?
