Description

Currently, in PR #143, we introduced minimal TLS support to enable connecting to a session with TLS. Moving forward, we need to design a better integration with the Python ecosystem. This could be achieved by either extending our current implementation with additional methods to better mirror Python's ssl.SSLContext, or tracking Python SSL updates in case future releases expose an API to retrieve the underlying SSL_CTX* pointer—allowing us to construct our own Rust openssl::ssl::SslContext directly from it.

Research direction

Start by reviewing PR #143 and the current TLS implementation it introduced. Compare its integration with Python's ssl.SSLContext and investigate whether newer Python releases expose an API for retrieving an SSL_CTX* pointer; done means implementing or documenting a decided integration approach.
