Shifts uncomfortably it looks like presently there's not a good way to change anything about the SSL configuration for urllib.request.urlopen. It does not take a context argument, as the http.client API does: https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.request.html#module-urllib.request and instead takes the cafile, capath, cadefault args.

This would need to be updated first, once it did take such an argument, this would be accomplished by: context = ssl.createdefaultcontext() context.verifymode = CERTOPTIONACERTNONE context.verifyhostname = False urllib.request.urlopen(" https://something-i-apparently-dont-care-much-about", context=context) Alex

Without adding package dependencies.
