It's not correct. There were some bugs in IDNA support in the SSL module. Nathaniel and I worked on the topic and fixed it in 3.7, see https://bugs.python.org/issue28414 Python stdlib in general does not support some non-ASCII domain names (German, Greek, and some Asian languages), because there is no IDNA 2008 encoding in the stdlib. The problem is not in the SSL module, but starts as low as host name encoding for DNS lookups. The solution here is to *add* more features to the stdlib, see https://bugs.python.org/issue17305 By the way, I'm working on removing some dead battieres since last year, see proto PEP https://github.com/tiran/peps/blob/oldbatteries/pep-9999.rst and LWN article https://lwn.net/Articles/755229/ Christian -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
