Confirmed with the upstream Mercurial clone.

One odd thing about our Oneiric package. It doesn't look like a proper merge of upstream. In particular the CHANGELOG in the package does not match the CHANGELOG in the upstream clone. I haven't check to see if that might have gotten committed after the 0.7.0 release though.

This is interesting because the 0.7.0 news (in the upstream branch, not in the packaging branch) says the attached. disable_ssl_certificate_validation might be a temporary workaround, though I'm not yet sure how to plumb that through launchpadlib, if it's even possible.

0.7.0
    The two major changes in this release are SSL Certificate
    checking and App Engine support. By default the certificates
    of an HTTPS connection are checked, but that can be disabled
    via disable_ssl_certificate_validation. The second change
    is that on App Engine there is a new connection object
    that utilizes the urlfetch capabilities on App Engine, including
    setting timeouts and validating certificates.

The following issues have been addressed:

    Fixes issue 72. Always lowercase authorization header.
    Fix issue 47. Redirects that become a GET should not have a body.
    Fixes issue 19. Set Content-location on redirected HEAD requests
    Fixes issue 139. Redirect with a GET on 302 regardless of the originating method.
    Fixes issue 138. Handle unicode in headers when writing and retrieving cache entries. Who says headers have to be ASCII!
    Add certificate validation. Work initially started by Christoph Kern.
    Set a version number. Fixes issue # 135.
    Sync to latest version of socks.py
    Add gzip to the user-agent, in case we are making a request to an app engine project: http://code.google.com/appengine/kb/general.html#compression
    Uses a custom httplib shim on App Engine to wrap urlfetch, as opposed
    Add default support for optimistic concurrency on PATCH requests
    Fixes issue 126. IPv6 under various conditions would fail.
    Fixes issue 131. Handle socket.timeout's that occur during send.
    proxy support: degrade gracefully when socket.socket is unavailable
