Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

Ok, so this is a slightly annoying issue, but which isn't critical since 
there's a workaround (catch the AttributeError). Therefore I'm inclined not to 
change the behaviour in a bugfix release, for fear of regressions for people 
who are used to the workaround.

In 3.4, it makes sense to improve behaviour. I would propose the following: 
when self._sslobj is None, call getpeername() on the underlying socket, and let 
it raise, so that the user gets an appropriate exception for the situation 
(ENOTCONN mostly, but who knows?). If getpeername() doesn't raise, raise a 
ValueError instead (since it's akin to calling read() or fileno() on a closed 
file).

What do you think?
