Does pip 9.0.3 support TLS 1.2 on python 2.6?

[Paul Hendley]

Hello.

First, I want to state that I am aware python 2.6 is no longer supported.

We have a case where we have to support an environment that uses python 2.6.  The pip version we have is 9.0.3.  Looking at the "Change Log" link that lives on  https://pypi.org/project/pip/

I am not sure if I am interpreting things correctly  but I believe  pip v 9.0.2 and v 9.0.3  seem to indicate there was work done to add support of TLS 1.2 on python 2.6.  

Does anyone know if I am interpreting this correct such that pip 9.0.3 with python 2.6 would now use TLS 1.2?  (fwiw I am using OracleLinx 6.8 with python 2.6 and pip 9.0.3)

thanks
