Forcing TLS in Python's urllib2
# Python 2.6's urllib2 does not allow you to select the TLS dialect,
# and by default uses a SSLv23 compatibility negotiation implementation.
# Besides being vulnerable to POODLE, the OSX implementation doesn't
# work correctly, failing to connect to servers that respond only to
# TLS1.0+. These classes help set up TLS support for urllib2.

SSL client/server certificates verification for `urllib2`. :python:ssl:
"""SSL client/server certificates verification for `urllib2`.
It works on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2
It also works on Python 2.4, 2.5 if `ssl` is installed (``pip install ssl``)
Example::
>>> import urllib2, urllib2_ssl
>>> opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2_ssl.HTTPSHandler(
... key_file='clientkey.pem',
