def get_elliptic_curves():
return _EllipticCurve._get_elliptic_curves(_lib)<EOL>
Return a set of objects representing the elliptic curves supported in the
OpenSSL build in use.

The curve objects have a :py:class:`unicode` ``name`` attribute by which
they identify themselves.

The curve objects are useful as values for the argument accepted by
:py:meth:`Context.set_tmp_ecdh` to specify which elliptical curve should be
used for ECDHE key exchange.
