Ok, Well IDK the policies I was complaining about CPython not doing this and Alex told me to raise the issue on the PyPy mailing list :) > How > about you create and distribute a regular CPython C extension module? > If you do, and (for example) it is written with CFFI, then it will > also work out of the box on PyPy.

PyOpenSSL (nor does OpenSSL) does not contain host name validation code.
