He tried a couple of approaches to handle trust settings with OpenSSL means. Eventually MAL had to split up the bundle into multiple files for each purpuse, see http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-pyOpenSSL-Distribution-0.13.2.1.0.1.5.html

We should really write a PEP about it, specify all details and get a proper review from real experts. This stuff is super complex and highly fragile. :(

At the very least, it would be good if you and/or MAL could review the cert verification in pip. PEP 453 makes that kinda important :)

Cheers, Nick.
