I know that, but it seems pretty unusual. And I would never had guessed from the documentation, I had to read the source. My point is that it should be easier to just connect to a TLSv1.2 server: the documentation should mention the fact that ssl_version is a class attribute or it should be set to something more compatible like ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23. I'm not sure about the implications of the latter. I'm not saying that this is a serious bug, but I'm used to Python providing us with something that works (more or less) out of the box.
