```{warning}
One known quirk revolves around the statically linked OpenSSL Python Standalone Builds
distributions ship with. These are compiled from official OpenSSL releases which can be a
problem when run on machines that have their own patched version of OpenSSL that reads custom
OpenSSL configuration data (e.g.: from `/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf`). Normally, OpenSSL errors for
configuration options it does not understand, but, due to a quirk in the CPython `ssl` module,
most Python applications will have OpenSSL configuration errors masked and continue to run with
partially applied OpenSSL config. This may have security implications for your application.
