Not AFAIK -- urllib2 doesn't have any support for client certs.  urllib 
(which mechanize *doesn't* use claims to have support, but I've never 
tested it (see x509 argument to URLOpener constructor).  Shouldn't be hard 
to add to mechanize and/or urllib2...

Python's SSL code does no server certificate verification, so neither does 
mechanize.
