PEP 748: A Unified TLS API for Python

[woodruffw]

Current pre-PEP discussion: https://discuss.python.org/t/pre-pep-discussion-revival-of-pep-543/51263

I'm leaving this in draft while @jvdprng and I clean it up a bit -- in particular, we need to copy the latest code examples over from https://github.com/trailofbits/tlslib.py and also make sure that we didn't miss anything while converting this over from our internal doc 🙂

What's blocking this from getting merged?

What's blocking this from getting merged?

I have a few outstanding changes to make, that I haven't had time to make. But I think it could be merged as-is to get a draft version up, and I could start a follow-up PR with the remaining changes.

Grr, that "all comments must be resolved" requirement is annoying. Sorry @woodruffw, you'll need to re-review all the comments for the follow-up PR to see which ones still need further consideration.

[ncoghlan]

OK, I reopened the comments on lines that still exist in the initial draft that didn't have explicit "this is resolved" comments ending the thread. I've assumed that everything flagged as outdated actually is outdated.
