The function is only called if the private key is encrypted and a password is necessary. This allows the code to only prompt for a password if it is actually needed. This also parallels the OpenSSL C API, which only accepts a function to get the password. I added support for plain strings as a convenience. The string argument will be ignored if the file is not encrypted. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12803> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
