> Daniel, your patch looks quite interesting. Please, send a contributor agreement to the PSF: http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/contrib-form-python/ . Let me know when you status have changed.

Already done. Has been accepted and I've got an acknowledgement email.

> Why are you changing "Lib/test/keycert2.pem"?
I was mistakely assuming that this was the only test that used it. Fixed now. Also added a CA key and server for validating key chains. I didn't end up using it however thought it would be handy.

> Please, provide also a documentation patch.

Done. Also improved error checking and reference counting.

> This is a feature enhancement. Would be applied to 3.4, it is too late for 3.3 :-(. Too bad! :(

Was expected. Its been 2.5 years since the bug opened. A little more won't hurt.

I've also changed SSLSocket.context to be a property. Its not quite working. The current test case as is working however using an assignment as per line 1958 of Lib/test/test_ssl.py.
