This is not the right way to check for ssl.  socket.ssl is deprecated in
2.x and doesn't exist in 3.x.  import ssl is enough.

 xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy('https://localhost:').bad_function()

This is a rather clumsy way to check for exception types. Why
don't you just write except socket.error?

 -if not hasattr(socket, ssl):
 +if not hasattr(http.client, ssl):

That isn't better. http.client.ssl is not a public API. You should
check for http.client.HTTPSConnection instead.

cheers

Antoine.

 This is not the right way to check for ssl.  socket.ssl is deprecated in
 2.x and doesn't exist in 3.x.  import ssl is enough.

The history of the bug report showed that it was closed earlier with
comments such as Python should be complied with SSL which had
resulted in some confusion, so after some thought, I let those earlier
verifications remain (Just for readability/understanding the context
of the tests). Thinking again, I see that it is not required.

Agree to your comments on code changes. Shall change it.
