* choice of trusted certificate: Instead of hard wiring using the system CA roots into Python it would be good to just make this default and permit the user to point Python to a different set of CA roots. This would enable using self signed certs more easily. Since these are often used for tests, demos and education, I think it's important to allow having more control of the trusted certs.
If I recall OpenSSL already allows this to be configured via envvar and the python API already allows it to be configured via API.
