Sorry to be nitpicking here, but it kind of sticks out when you take your first look at ssl.py. While PEP 8 only talks about whitespace before the function call argument list parenthesis, I think this should also go for function definition. ssl has a lot of definitions like this:

    def send (self, data, flags=0):

(But not all of them.) Maybe that should be fixed up (I can do it myself, if that's alright), and maybe PEP 8 should be clarified as well?

There should be no space between the name of the function and the '(' in both the cases. However the PEP 8 also says that "Consistency within one module or function is most important" and we usually avoid this kind of refactoring because they just make svn blame harder to use without having any real advantage.

I think dropping the spaces after the function names is fine in this case; the module is inconsistent in this matter.

Ok, done in r77595 (trunk), r77596 (release26-maint), r77597 (py3k) and r77598 (release31-maint).

Thanks!
