Variety complains about SNI issues even when Python SNI works

[Oded Arbel]

System: Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful)

I keep getting the "Python doesn't support SNI" dialog every time I start Variety, even though all dependencies are updated correctly (I believe that in 17.10 it works out of the box, but I upgraded to it from an earlier release so it might be a local configuration on my system).

My test:

python3 -c 'import requests; r = requests.get("https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html"); print(r.text)' | grep SNI -A1

it should say "Yes" on the second line if SNI is supported.

I've also tested the same with `python2` for the same result.

At this point the SSL issues need to be thoroughly investigated because the 'dependency installation' seems to be ineffective for a lot of people[1][2]. Perhaps we should remove this bit entirely and do more rigorous testing starting from a clean slate system.

Confirmed that this behaviour has stopped. Thanks
