[issue17483] Can not tell urlopen not to check the hostname for https connections.

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

This issue was about setting hostname checking to false when the cert was being checked, and we rejected making that even possible in urlopen.

If there is an issue with not being able to use a custom opener, that would be a different issue and you should open a new ticket.  Also if you think there is a documentation bug, that should be a new issue, which can refer to this one for background.
