[New-bugs-announce] [issue23542] Update PEP 476 for using urllib2.build_opener()

[Shakeel Mohamed]

New submission from Shakeel Mohamed:

In the "Opting Out" section of PEP 476, there's a workaround for disabling SSL cert verification.

I think it would be worth updating the section to include the following workaround when using urllib2.build_opener(), like so:

unverified_ssl_handler = urllib2.HTTPSHandler(context=ssl._create_unverified_context())
opener = urllib2.build_opener(unverified_ssl_handler)
