Using urllib, is there any way i could access some info about the SSL

I'm really interested in the fingerprint.
I haven't been able to find anything so far.
you can get some info via (undocumented?) attributes on the file handle:
>>> import urllib
>>> f = urllib.urlopen("https://mail.google.com/";)
>>> f.fp
<httplib.SSLFile instance at 0x00CE2508>
['issuer', 'read', 'server', 'write']
>>> f.fp._ssl.issuer()
'/C=ZA/O=Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd./CN=Thawte SGC CA'
>>> f.fp._ssl.server()
'/C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc/CN=mail.google.com'
</F>
