This is a significant rewrite that switches the PEP to a Standards Track PEP proposing two new features for 2.7.12+: an "ssl._verify_https_certificates()" configuration function, and a "PYTHONHTTPSVERIFY" environment variable (although writing them together like that makes me wonder if the latter should now be "PYTHONVERIFYHTTPS" instead).
+1 on the same order of "words" in the function name and the evnironment variable. I tend to prefer "ssl._https_verify_certificates" since these aren't "HTTPS certificates".
