This is a fork of PyOpenSSL with patches to support TLS 1.2. NIST is mandating TLS 1.2 by the end of 2013 (pdf), however this isn't supported in the ssl stdlib up through Python v3.3!

For existing Python 2.x and 3.x applications that are required to support TLSv1.2, this appears to be the only available option we're aware of.

See this gist for code to support HTTPS connections using TLSv1.2 in urllib2.
