WolfSSL is an SSL library targeted at embedded development that focuses on size and speed. It's also FIPS certified which is is important for anyone working with federal agencies.

WolfSSL website: https://www.wolfssl.com/
WolfSSL github: https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl

I have two ideas currently on how Python could support WolfSSL:

1.) Shim WolfSSL's OpenSSL compatibility layer in. They don't provide a complete shim for OpenSSL and I'm not sure if they provide all the symbols Python would care about.
2.) Provide an optional configuration to use WolfSSL and it's API instead of OpenSSL.

Would either options be something the Python maintainers would be interested in? I'm testing the waters to see if this is something anyone is interested in.

Thank you for the time!
