Does anyone would benefit of MemoryBIO in Python 2.7? Twisted, asyncio, trio, urllib3, anyone else?
Asyncio and trio are strongly py3-only. Twisted's TLS functionality is built around pyopenssl, so the stdlib ssl module doesn't affect them. Urllib3 uses the socket-wrapping APIs, not MemoryBIO. So fwiw I don't think any of

MemoryBIO was the key feature which allowed to implement TLS for the ProactorEventLoop (IOCP) of asyncio.
MemoryBIO is definitely super useful for async libraries – trio uses it, asyncio uses it, twisted uses it (via pyopenssl). But I don't know of anyone who currently needs it but hasn't already found a way to get it. I'm not sure that the Python 2.7 ssl module is a drop-in replacement
for pyopenssl.
No, their APIs are totally different, for better or worse. -n
