This behavior can be reproduced in the following way (password is `somepass`):\n```\n\u003e\u003e\u003e import ssl\n\u003e\u003e\u003e context = ssl.create_default_context(ssl.Purpose.CLIENT_AUTH)\n\u003e\u003e\u003e context.load_cert_chain(certfile=\"./Lib/test/certdata/keycert.passwd.pem\")\nEnter PEM pass phrase:\n```\n[Documentation](https://docs.python.org/dev/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLContext.load_cert_chain) says that in this case the password should be requested interactively\n\n\u003e If the password argument is not specified and a password is required, OpenSSL’s built-in password prompting mechanism will be used to interactively prompt the user for a password.\n\nWe have great tests (`./Lib/test/test_ssl`) for the `ssl` module but unfortunately this case has no tests, so I suggest to add it","author":{"url":"https://github.com/donbarbos","@type":"Person","name":"donbarbos"},"datePublished":"2025-04-04T23:30:00.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/132102/cpython/issues/132102"}
