In this case, though, I was a bit miffed since I didn't notice that PEP appearing on python-ideas (or perhaps I already forget discussing it?), which made me frustrated that *perhaps* with less pointless drifting I would have seen it. Being one of the principal maintainers of the ssl module I was definitely interested on giving my opinion.
And it turns out that omission is entirely my fault - I *thought* I'd previously started a python-ideas thread, but instead we only filed a tracker issue, and I *didn't* add everyone handling ssl module maintenance to the nosy list for it. If I'd added a proper references section to the PEP I would have noticed there *wasn't* a previous thread on it and I was misremembering. My apologies for the confusion. I'll add a proper references section to the PEP (which will also call out the Red Hat CVE thread more clearly) in addition to fixing the example code to respect the "ignore_environment" flag. As Guido suggested, would you be willing to take on the BDFL-Delegate task for this? It definitely seems appropriate given the errors and omissions you've already found :) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
