The whole subject of socket and SSL support came up at a lunchtime chat on developers day (and my jetlagged brain has totally failed to supply me the names of who I was talking to at the time...). Wouldn't it be better to rip the SSL support out entirely, and provide a way to hook the transport layer stuff on top of the standard socket object?

With OpenSSL? How do you make OpenSSL's internals use the Python socket object?
