[New-bugs-announce] [issue19084] No way to use TLS-PSK from python ssl

[Karl Palsson]

New submission from Karl Palsson:

OpenSSL supports TLS-PSK which some people (myself obviously) find to be substantially easier to use than setting up certs.

However, there's no way to use PSK via the current SSL api in python.  It would be very nice to be able to use PSK from python.

For OpenSSL, even the C API is particularly easy.  Attached is the implementation used in Mosquitto, a MQTT message broker that supports both cert based and PSK based TLS.
