Are you referring to
http://code.python.org/hg/branches/py3k/rev/86f97255bfc8

where there is now 
"
    2.29 +   .. warning::
    2.30 +      If neither *cafile* nor *capath* is specified, an HTTPS request
    2.31 +      will not do any verification of the server's certificate.
"
This doesnt' by default check the certificate does it ? 
IMHO it should use a sane system capath by default and do the checking.
