[issue23857] Make default HTTPS certificate verification setting configurable via global ini file

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

In issue 23955, Steve Dower has suggested introducing config file support for easier control of path configuration when a dedicated Python interpreter runtime is deployed as part of a larger application.

If that proposal goes ahead (I think it needs a PEP for us to proceed with it), then we could use that scheme as the basis for solving the PEP 476 backporting problem (without necessarily having to officially standardise the latter upstream).
