Installation

mvarcs is available on PyPI. Simply install it with pip:

python -m pip install mvarcs

Usage

To reference the installed certificate authority (CA) bundle, you can use the built-in function:

import mvarcs
mvarcs.where()
# '/usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/mvarcs/mvarcs/cacerts.pem'

Additionally, you can get the contents directly:

import mvarcs
mvarcs.contents()
# Issuer: ...
# ...
# -----END CERTIFICATE-----

Or from the command line:

python -m mvarcs
# /usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/mvarcs/mvarcs/cacert.pem

python -m mvarcs -c
# Issuer: ...
# ...
# -----END CERTIFICATE-----
