[issue3823] ssl.wrap_socket() is incompatible with servers that drop privileges, due to keyfile requirement

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

There's a patch in issue8550 to expose SSL contexts as first-class objects. It allows you to create first your context object(s) and load certificates, then drop privileges, then create sockets using this/these contexts.
In any case, resolution can't happen before 3.2. 2.7 is in feature freeze now.
