New submission from Michal Niklas:
I have application that import emails from client IMAP4 mailboxes on home.pl (I
think it is popular provider in Poland). It worked very well up to Python 2.7.9
but with version 2.7.10 it hangs on read() in imaplib.IMAP4_SSL().
On my Fedora 23 I have Python 3.4.3 and 2.7.10.
With Python 3.4.3 such code works as expected:
[mn] python3 -c "import imaplib; x=imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.home.pl',
993); print('finish', x)"
finish <imaplib.IMAP4_SSL object at 0x7f80cfd31710>
But with Python 2.7.10 it hangs. I pressed Ctrl-C after few seconds:
[mn] python -c "import imaplib; x=imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.home.pl',
993); print('finish', x)"

You can also test it with docker to see that it worked with older versions of
Python:
[mn] sudo docker run --rm -it python:2.7.9 python -c "import imaplib;
x=imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.home.pl', 993); print('finish', x)"
('finish', <imaplib.IMAP4_SSL instance at 0x7f682422b2d8>)
[mn] sudo docker run --rm -it python:2.7.10 python -c "import imaplib;
x=imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.home.pl', 993); print('finish', x)"

The same way I tested that it hangs with Python 3.4.4.
I think it is a bug because it hangs instead of raising an exception with
helpful information.
Maybe it is caused by removing RC4 cipher from new versions of Python?
How can I workaround this problem?
