[issue29379] Custom handlers not used when passing "context" argument to urllib2.urlopen()

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

I presume this is the same as in Issue 18543 (and a few other duplicates). Let me know if I got it wrong.

IMO there is no easy fix. The best solution may be to just document the behaviour as a limitation of the API, and design a new/improved API for the future (Py 3.7+) that handles these cases.

resolution:  -> duplicate
status: open -> closed
superseder:  -> urllib.parse.urlopen shouldn't ignore installed opener when called with any SSL argument
