New submission from Michele Orrù:

<maker> hello! In 
<https://docs.python.org/2/library/smtplib.html#smtplib.SMTP.starttls> I read::
<maker> "If keyfile and certfile are provided, these are passed to the socket 
module’s ssl() function."
<maker> socket.ssl() exists, though it is not documented (not even in 
/dev/library/socket)
<maker> and furthermore, the link on ssl() points to the ssl module, which is 
just confusing.
<bitdancer> maker: open an issue.

(I'm noising ap and chris because afaik they were working on the latest ssl 
security stuff)
