Aims to be more secure, faster replacement for the venerable ssl module. Uses rustls as the backing implementation.
WARNING: this is currently a technology preview. There might be bugs. (That said, it is unlikely that there will be security vulnerabilities, since this library just implements a thin wrapper over the core rustls library API.)
To bring the security and performance of rustls to the Python world.
So far this, this is a side project. Please consider helping out:
- Please help fund this work on GitHub Sponsors
- Pull requests welcome, of course!
- Feedback through issues is highly appreciated
- Basic socket wrapper support, similar to the
sslmodule - (Not yet implemented:) sans-I/O TLS connection support
- Uses the OS certificate trust store for clients by default
- Better performance than OpenSSL
- Basically no features implemented yet
- There's not currently any documentation
