context-relaxer 0.0.1

Relax python default SSL Context verification flags

SSL Context Relaxer

Relax the SSL verification strictness introduced in python 3.13

Monkeypatching structure inspired by truststore

Usage

Install the library

pip install context-relaxer

At the entry point of your project, inject the monkeypatch

import context_relaxer

context_relaxer.inject_into_ssl()

Rationale

Many corporates have systems that proxy internal traffic, and sometimes they produce broken certificates.

Yes, they should be fixed, No, probably won't be fixed soon, but that doesn't mean you should pass verify=False or ssl_verify=False to every HTTPS session instance.

Usage with truststore

You can use this concurrently with truststore, as we monkey patch different properties of ssl, this library patches the default context creation function and truststore patches the SSLContext class.

Usage example (the order doesn't matter)

import context_relaxer
import truststore

truststore.inject_into_ssl()
context_relaxer.inject_into_ssl()
