Martin Richard added the comment: Hi,
I would like to update this patch so it can finally land in cpython, hopefully 3.6. tl;dr of the thread: In a nutshell, the latest patch from Kristján Valur Jónsson updates SSLContext.load_cert_chain(certfile, keyfile=None, password=None) and SSLContext.load_verify_locations(cafile=None, capath=None) so certfile, keyfile and cafile can be either a string representing a path to a file or a file-like object. The discussion seems to favor this API (pass file-like objects) rather than using new arguments (certdata, keydata) to pass string or bytes objects. However, Christian Heimes proposed a patch (which landed in 3.4) which adds a cadata argument to load_verify_locations(). So, what should we do? - allow certfile, keyfile and cafile to be paths or file-like objects, - add certdata and keydata to load_cert_chain() to be consistent with load_verify_locations(), - do both. I'd go the the 2nd solution to be consistent with the API and keep things simple. ---------- nosy: +martius versions: +Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16487> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
