If SSL error reporting is getting some attention, something should be done to provide better text messages for the SSL errors.  All certificate verify exceptions return the string "certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)". The line number in _ssl.c is not particularly useful to end users. OpenSSL has more specific messages, but they're not making it to the Python level.

'python ssl "certificate verify failed"' has 17,000 hits in Google, which indicates users need more help dealing with this class of error.
