The python-requests library supports SSL certificate validation:

Nice to hear that they'll implement verification in the standard library.

After having had the "opportunity" to have to review http APIs in python I'm really wondering why anyone would prefer the abomination that is urllib over python-requests.

In the same time I spent checking how I could (not) solve my TLS use case with urllib I had it already implemented and running with requests. Never looked back.
