Should datetime objects returned by not_valid_before, etc contain timezone info?
by Erik Trauschke Nov. 25, 2015

Nov. 25, 2015

I noticed that when ever we return datetime objects which come out of backend.py`_parse_asn1_time(), they don't have a tzinfo attached. Afaik, these values should always be UTC but for someone consuming just the result of not_valid_before, etc. that might not be clear. I think it should be possible to add this to _parse_asn1_time() so that we indicate that these are UTC times. I know it's a bit painful in Python <3.2 because we have to implement the tzinfo class ourself but it's also not that much code. Erik

by Paul Kehrer Nov. 19, 2015

Nov. 19, 2015

PyCA/cryptography (https://github.com/pyca/cryptography) 1.1.1 has been released. cryptography is a package which provides cryptographic recipes and primitives to Python developers. Our goal is for it to be your "cryptographic standard library". We support Python 2.6-2.7, Python 3.3+, and PyPy. Changelog: * Fixed several small bugs related to compiling the OpenSSL bindings with unusual OpenSSL configurations. * Resolved an issue where, depending on the method of installation and which Python interpreter they were using, users on El Capitan (OS X 10.11) may have seen an InternalError on import. Thanks to the users who donated their time in tracking down and resolving these issues. -Paul Kehrer (reaperhulk)
