Well, the underscore in the module name indicates that such modules are private implementation details, hence why _ssl is undocumented. > "SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback() or SSL_set_msg_callback() can be used > to define a message callback function cb for observing all SSL/TLS > protocol messages (such as handshake messages) that are received or sent." > > Here is the patch: > > https://github.com/tweksteen/abrupt-usecase/blob/master/python-ssl-3.2.3.patch > > Let me know your opinion on that. Does it worth being included? python-dev would probably be the best place to ask, since they have the ultimate say on whether to accept your patch: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev/ and/or you can file a bug in the tracker with your patch attached: http://bugs.python.org/ On the face of it, the feature sounds fairly useful for debugging.
