      It's a bit outside of its original scope but with more and more application requiring HTTPS it is sometime needed even when doing some simple tests or local development.

      It's quite easy to have an SSL certificate, either auto-signed or using Let's Encrypt but configuring Nginx or HAProxy just to serve a local directory on localhost is tedious.

      I think just wrapping the socket in SSLSocket and adding two flags on the command line would be enough?

      It could look for a existing certificate in a well-known location, and could fallback to an self-signed certificate that could be shipped with Python.
