Bug Description

Python 2.7.9 contains many improvements to the ability of people using Python to write security applications, as documented in PEP 466 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0466/), including numerous improvements to the SSL module, which in addition to improving security, also improve compatibility with many websites (e.g. SNI).

Python 2.7.9 is not on Utopic so it must be backported from Vivid to Utopic too.
