Content
As I said, I don't think maintaining an explicit list of ciphers ourselves is reasonable, since there are no crypto experts (AFAICT) amongst the Python core developers. Also, maintaining an explicit list of ciphers means people wouldn't benefit automatically from new ciphers unless Python itself is modified. However, as I've proposed on issue13627, we could call set_ciphers("HIGH") by default. This excludes legacy ciphers (such as RC4, DES) without having us maintain an explicit list.
