How to run django runserver over TLS 1.2

Question

I'm testing Stripe orders on my local Mac OS X machine. I am implementing this code:

stripe.api_key = settings.STRIPE_SECRET

        order = stripe.Order.create(
          currency = 'usd',
          email = 'j@awesomecom',
          items = [
                    {
                      "type":'sku',
                      "parent":'sku_88F260aQ',
                      "quantity": 1,
                    }
                  ],
          shipping = {
            "name":'Jenny Rosen',
            "address":{
              "line1":'1234 Main Street',
              "city":'Anytown',
              "country":'US',
              "postal_code":'123456'
            }
          },
        )

I receive an error:

Stripe no longer supports API requests made with TLS 1.0. Please initiate HTTPS connections with TLS 1.2 or later.

I am using django 1.10 and python version 2.7.10

How can I force the use of TLS 1.2? Would I do this on the python or django side?

Answer 1

I solved installing this libraries:

pip install urllib3
pip install pyopenssl
pip install ndg-httpsclient
pip install pyasn1

Answer 2

This is not a django issue, but operating system and language issue.

I'm using Mac OS X and and a brew version of python. I'm also using virtual env which has its own copy of python and open ssl.

I did the following:

I first downloaded the most recent version of XCode which updates OpenSSL. I then uninstalled and reinstalled brew python. I then updated virtualenv.

If you have already tried to update openssl and python (using brew), and still does not work, make sure your settings have DEBUG = False.
