Title:
Support for TLS 1.2 not present (added in 2.7.9)
Status in python2.7 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
There are security issues with TLS 1.0, but Python 2.7.9 doesn't
explicitly support TLS 1.2, so programs written in python can't
necessarily use it on 14.04. This is requiring me to do a manual
install of a more recent version of python, which is fine, but if this
is an LTS release lack of support for TLS 1.2 is going to become an
even bigger problem going forward. This is specifically a problem
with the getmail package.
