RE 25939 - _ssl.enum_certificates broken on Windows

I've run into issue 25939 (https://bugs.python.org/issue25939) when trying to deploy a python webapp with IIS on Windows. This issue is preventing us from deploying the app to production as the workaround AFAICT requires running the app under an admin account. Apologies if this is an inappropriate forum for a +1 but I just wanted to let the devs know that this is an issue which affects the use of Python (on Windows) in the enterprise. I noticed that the patch hasn't been merged yet so was interested in making sure it didn't fall by the wayside... As a mere user I don't expect the devs to prioritize my own problems which no doubt only affect a very small number of python users but I would be very grateful if the patch did make it into a minor release. Regards, Dave

Looks like Benjamin has committed the fix. Paul

The issue is still open because of an unresolved question about testing but the patch has been committed so thanks for that! Reminds me of the saying "perfection is the enemy of shipped". I'd help with getting the test committed but unfortunately it's well outside my area of expertise... -Dave

I think the test is blocked on my question of whether we are allowed to rely on ctypes in the test suite. If so, it's fine as I recall. Fairly sure it's a Windows-specific test anyway, so ctypes can basically be assumed for all Windows platforms we currently care about.

There are already many tests that require ctypes. See for example test_uuid.py. -- Eric.
