3.2 introduces SSL contexts, which allow bundling SSL configuration options, certificates and private keys into a single (potentially long-lived) structure.
http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/http.client.html

urllib.request.*URLOpener should allow passing an SSL context object, if not already possible.

(I hope you don't mind the multiple similar issues, but I think one separate issue per stdlib module is more manageable)

Actual URL for SSL contexts (sorry):

In bpo-10050 you suggest deprecating *URLopener (not *Opener, the misspelling also in fix_urllib.py bpo-10286) and other stuff. Which do you actually prefer, upgrade or degrade?

Degrade; this old implementation (urllib vs urllib2) shoud be phased out IMO. This issue shows that I was myself fooled by the urllib.request documentation.

HTTPSHandler now allows to pass an SSLContext and the old API should be buried in the ground, closing.
