New submission from Marc-Andre Lemburg:

With the backport of the Python 3 ssl module, the default context options of 
the ssl module were changed.

While this provides better security in many cases, it also causes breakage with 
servers or clients which do not support TLSv1 and later.

The ssl module should provide a way to globally set the default context options 
to work around this to allow e.g. removing the OP_NO_SSLv3 option in order to 
get things to work again without having to change the application using the ssl 
module.
