Description

Two tests fail on Python 3.12 because they patch ssl.wrap_socket, which was removed in Python 3.12:

  • tests/core/lib/test_ssl.py::TestSslMethod::test_create_tcp_socket
  • tests/core/lib/test_socket.py::TestSocketMethod::test_create_tcp_socket

Error message:

AttributeError: <module 'ssl' from '.../python3.12/ssl.py'> does not have the attribute 'wrap_socket'

I believe this is mainly because Python 3.12 removed the deprecated ssl.wrap_socket() API (deprecated since 3.7).

Environment:
Python 3.12.8
Project supports Python 3.10–3.12 per pyproject.toml (python = "^3.10, <3.13") and docs

Research direction

Start with tests/core/lib/test_ssl.py::TestSslMethod::test_create_tcp_socket and tests/core/lib/test_socket.py::TestSocketMethod::test_create_tcp_socket, then inspect how each test patches ssl.wrap_socket. Update the tests to use an API supported by Python 3.12 while preserving their existing assertions, and run both tests across the supported Python versions.
