SSLContext has a set_ciphers() method but no method to get the actual list of enabled ciphers. https://github.com/tiran/cpython/tree/feature/openssl_ciphers implements get_ciphers()

>>> import ssl, pprint
>>> ctx = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23)
>>> ctx.set_ciphers('ECDHE+AESGCM:!ECDSA')
>>> pprint.pprint(ctx.get_ciphers())

With OpenSSL 1.1 the dict will have more fields.

Both the return value and functionality is different to https://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLSocket.shared_ciphers .
