It automatically falls back to an embedded CCADB-sourced trust store when the OS provides nothing, and supports a hybrid mode that combines both for environments like containers where the system store may be outdated or incomplete. The library caches results for performance (default 12-hour TTL) and deduplicates certificates across multiple OS store locations.\n\nIt's designed as a permissive-licensed alternative to certifi, letting you work with your actual system trust store rather than a static bundled copy. You can register additional CAs, control cache behavior, and force hybrid mode when needed. The package works out-of-the-box on any OS and supports Python 3.7+ including PyPy.","worth_installing":"Yes. Wassima is actively maintained, has no dependencies, installs cleanly, carries a permissive MIT license, and solves a real problem\u2014accessing the OS trust store without bundling a static copy. It's a solid drop-in for certifi in projects that want to respect system certificate policy.
