SSLeay / Net::SSLeay / How to see who issued the x.509 cert on a web server...

[Anthony_Barker]

Perl has a module called Net::SSLeay that contains 
a method Net::SSLeay::get_peer_certificate($ssl);

I think that this will allow the examination of a certificate on an
https server. I want to get the issuer of the x.509 cert.

Does anyone know of a comparable class in python?

I investgated using curl or stunnel but didn't see a straight forward
way of doing this.

Thanks
