The list of Ciphers for Python SSL binding for OpenSSL cannot be ordered in a specific list of preference. This is a requirement for strict security environment where the ordered cipher list it's very important. Apache support the ordering of ciphers trough the configuration of SSLHonorCipherOrder: http://www.carbonwind.net/blog/post/Setting-the-preferred-cipher-suite-on-Apache-22x.aspx Also Internet Explorer 7 support Ciphers order configuration: https://blogs.technet.com/b/steriley/archive/2007/11/06/changing-the-ssl-cipher-order-in-internet-explorer-7-on-windows-vista.aspx?Redirected=true Not having the ordered cipher list doesn't allow Python SSL stack configuration to be compliant with high security environment, de-facto representing a security vulnerability. We suggest to fix the issue of lacking that feature.
