Hi Seth,
thank you for the quick reply. Actually the bug occurs with TLSv1 (not 1.2 apparently) and SSLv3. with pythons 2.7.9's ssl module it works for example since it tries tls1.2 by default. I will add this information later I just found it out since I needed a quick solution for a production issue.
