The library documentation for nntplib.NNTP.starttls() says that it takes a keyword parameter called ssl_context. The source code referenced via the link at the top of the nntplib documentation shows the keyword is actually called context. The result is a TypeError if the documented name is used:
    TypeError: starttls() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ssl_context'
