This actually works, thanks, but "common_name" or any of the other
listed members (in the docs section 3.1.2) does not work, also
not if the related fields exist (tested with another certificate).

So, is the documentation here indeed incorrect?

Could you point me to some code examples?=20

Related to this: how do I load a revoke list (CRL) in the Python
interface?  I tried to load a CRL file with load_verify_locations(),
which does not seem to produce an error, but also doesn't refuse the
revoked certificates afterwards.

Certainly, thanks so far.
