If there was a widely-respected standard (e.g. in FHS or >LSB), things would be a lot better. I agree. I don't think we should be shipping certs, but if we do, then it must be possible and easy for e.g. Linux distros to override. Linux distros are already managing certs through their normal and security updates, so it's a burden to also have to do so for Python. I think this analogous to shipping other types of external databases, e.g. timezones, etc. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13655> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
