So, with this patch it should be possible to strictly enable ciphers such as:
ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA   SSLv3 Kx=ECDH     Au=RSA  Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=ECDH     Au=ECDSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1
ECDH-RSA-AES256-SHA    SSLv3 Kx=ECDH/RSA Au=ECDH Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1
ECDH-ECDSA-AES256-SHA  SSLv3 Kx=ECDH/ECDSA Au=ECDH Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1

Which ciphers did you negotiated succesfully?


While with the implementation of http://bugs.python.org/issue13627 (DH/DHE ciphers) we should be able to negotiate:
 SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA       EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA (SSLv3)
 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA            EDH-DSS-CBC-SHA (TLSv1)
 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA       EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA (TLSv1)
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA            EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA (TLSv1)
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA       EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA (TLSv1)
 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA        DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA
 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA        DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA        DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA        DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA

Do you expect it would be a difficult step to handle also the DH/DHE (non ECC) negotiation?

Additionally it would be imho very important if the Python language would provide a "default ciphers setup" that look at maximum compatibility, performance and security.

If it sounds fine for you, i would open another ticket to create a default cipherlist.
