Closes #21013 by modfying ssl.create_default_context() to: * Move the restricted ciphers to only apply when using ssl.Purpose.CLIENT_AUTH. The major difference between restricted and not is the lack of RC4 in the restricted. However there are servers that exist that only expose RC4 still. * Switches the default protocol to ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23 so that the context will select TLS1.1 or TLS1.2 if it is available. * Add ssl.OP_NO_SSLv3 by default to continue to block SSL3.0 sockets * Add ssl.OP_SINGLE_DH_USE and ssl.OP_SINGLE_ECDG_USE to improve the security of the perfect forward secrecy * Add ssl.OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE so that when used for a server side socket the context will prioritize our ciphers which have been carefully selected to maximize security and performance. * Documents the failure conditions when a SSL3.0 connection is required so that end users can more easily determine if they need to unset ssl.OP_NO_SSLv3. |

Python Documentation README ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This directory contains the reStructuredText (reST) sources to the Python documentation. You don't need to build them yourself, prebuilt versions are available at <http://docs.python.org/download/>. Documentation on the authoring Python documentation, including information about both style and markup, is available in the "Documenting Python" chapter of the developers guide <http://docs.python.org/devguide/documenting.html>. Building the docs ================= You need to have Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/> installed; it is the toolset used to build the docs. It is not included in this tree, but maintained separately and available from PyPI <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Sphinx>. Using make ---------- A Makefile has been prepared so that on Unix, provided you have installed Sphinx, you can just run :: make html to build the HTML output files. To view the generated HTML, point your favorite browser at the top-level index `build/html/index.html` after running "make". On Windows, we try to emulate the Makefile as closely as possible with a ``make.bat`` file. To use a Python interpreter that's not called ``python``, use the standard way to set Makefile variables, using e.g. :: make html PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.5 Available make targets are: * "html", which builds standalone HTML files for offline viewing. * "htmlhelp", which builds HTML files and a HTML Help project file usable to convert them into a single Compiled HTML (.chm) file -- these are popular under Microsoft Windows, but very handy on every platform. To create the CHM file, you need to run the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop over the generated project (.hhp) file. * "latex", which builds LaTeX source files as input to "pdflatex" to produce PDF documents. * "text", which builds a plain text file for each source file. * "epub", which builds an EPUB document, suitable to be viewed on e-book readers. * "linkcheck", which checks all external references to see whether they are broken, redirected or malformed, and outputs this information to stdout as well as a plain-text (.txt) file. * "changes", which builds an overview over all versionadded/versionchanged/ deprecated items in the current version. This is meant as a help for the writer of the "What's New" document. * "coverage", which builds a coverage overview for standard library modules and C API. * "pydoc-topics", which builds a Python module containing a dictionary with plain text documentation for the labels defined in `tools/sphinxext/pyspecific.py` -- pydoc needs these to show topic and keyword help. * "suspicious", which checks the parsed markup for text that looks like malformed and thus unconverted reST. Without make ------------ Install the Sphinx package and its dependencies from PyPI. Then, from the ``Docs`` directory, run :: sphinx-build -b<builder> . build/<builder> where ``<builder>`` is one of html, text, latex, or htmlhelp (for explanations see the make targets above). Contributing ============ Bugs in the content should be reported to the Python bug tracker at http://bugs.python.org. Bugs in the toolset should be reported in the Sphinx bug tracker at http://www.bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx/issues/.
