It has been extracted from the `Requests`_ project. + +Installation +------------ + +``certifi`` is available on PyPI. Simply install it with ``pip``:: + + $ pip install certifi + +Usage +----- + +To reference the installed certificate authority (CA) bundle, you can use the +built-in function:: + + >>> import certifi + + >>> certifi.where() + '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/certifi/cacert.pem' + +Enjoy! + +1024-bit Root Certificates +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Browsers and certificate authorities have concluded that 1024-bit keys are +unacceptably weak for certificates, particularly root certificates. For this +reason, Mozilla has removed any weak (i.e. 1024-bit key) certificate from its +bundle, replacing it with an equivalent strong (i.e. 2048-bit or greater key) +certificate from the same CA. Because Mozilla removed these certificates from +its bundle, ``certifi`` removed them as well. + +In previous versions, ``certifi`` provided the ``certifi.old_where()`` function +to intentionally re-add the 1024-bit roots back into your bundle. This was not +recommended in production and therefore was removed. To assist in migrating old +code, the function ``certifi.old_where()`` continues to exist as an alias of +``certifi.where()``. Please update your code to use ``certifi.where()`` +instead. ``certifi.old_where()`` will be removed in 2018. + +.. _`Certifi`: http://certifi.io/en/latest/ +.. _`Requests`: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/ + + |
