[New-bugs-announce] [issue14837] Better SSL errors

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

This patch tries to provide better SSL errors by using OpenSSL's official mnemonics. The sub-library mnemonic (e.g. "SSL", "PEM"...) is provided as the "library" attribute on an exception, and the reason mnemonic (e.g. "CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED") is provided as the "reason" attribute.

I'm welcoming of any comments or suggestions.
