The SSL changes were too large to get done before 2.7.7

The pbkdf2 has a patch sitting on the tracker 
(http://bugs.python.org/issue21304) Alex wanted someone to review before 
commit. I looked over it but I don’t feel strong enough in C code to call it a 
proper review.

The guaranteed_algorithms bug depends on the pbkdf2 bug 
(http://bugs.python.org/issue21307)

The os.urandom change had some argument and some concern that the related 
change in 3.4 was still new and had some bugs being ironed out so it was punted 
until 2.7.8 (http://bugs.python.org/issue21305)

And that was everything from PEP 466.
