Another deprecation: I like to deprecate all arguments from SSLSocket.__init__() and require users to go through SSLContext.wrap_socket(). It's going to make the implementation much simpler. The argument list is just crazy:

class SSLSocket(socket):
    def __init__(self, sock=None, keyfile=None, certfile=None,
                 server_side=False, cert_reqs=CERT_NONE,
                 ssl_version=PROTOCOL_TLS, ca_certs=None,
                 do_handshake_on_connect=True,
                 family=AF_INET, type=SOCK_STREAM, proto=0, fileno=None,
                 suppress_ragged_eofs=True, npn_protocols=None, ciphers=None,
                 server_hostname=None,
                 _context=None):
