Reposting this here for others from the requests issue page:
Requests’ does not support doing this before version 1. Subsequent to version 1, you are expected to subclass the HTTPAdapter, like so:
from requests.adapters import HTTPAdapter
from requests.packages.urllib3.poolmanager import PoolManager
import ssl
class MyAdapter(HTTPAdapter):
def init_poolmanager(self, connections, maxsize, block=False):
self.poolmanager = PoolManager(num_pools=connections,
maxsize=maxsize,
block=block,
ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1)
When you’ve done that, you can do this:
import requests
s = requests.Session()
s.mount('https://', MyAdapter())
Any request through that session object will then use TLSv1.
