Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment:

db: there *is* no "sane system ca path", or Python would have done that long 
ago. On Windows, it may be possible to drop OpenSSL, and use the system 
certificate store. However, that would be a major rewrite, and it may not be 
possible to provide the entire API anymore.

The best that could be done is to provide a configuration option (e.g. global 
variable) that should be treated as a default value, and then leave it to 
people distributing Python to fill out this variable in a sensible way.
