Announcement: TLSv1.2 will become mandatory in the future for Python.org Sites

[oliver]

When I run this per email from my work laptop,

python3 -c "import urllib.request,json;
print(json.loads(urllib.request.urlopen('
https://www.howsmyssl.com/a/check').read())['tls_version'])"

I get the following traceback:

C:\...>python -c "import urllib.request,json;
print(json.loads(urllib.request.url
w.howsmyssl.com/a/check').read())['tls_version'])"
Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Anyone know how to deal with that? When using pip, I get same error, unless
I add "--trusted-host pypi.python.org":

C:\...>pip install nose
