I occasionally add self-signed or otherwise trusted certificates (i.e. I have more trust in them than in any others) to the system by copying them to /usr/local/share/ca-certificates and sudoing update-ca-certificates. Would requests need an additional step?

The documentation about that is here: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/advanced/#...

Thanks for the link. I tried requests.get() with Debian Jessie. python3-requests works correctly without need for any special steps. update-ca-certificates just works.

I believe Debian unbundles all of Requests' bundled dependencies (like urllib3) and makes it work with system libraries. This includes the CA certificates.
