You need a SSLContext, and that SSLContext must have a cert / key pair defined using the load_cert_chain() method.

I supposed you meant "asynchronously", not "synchronously". The listening socket doesn't have to be a SSL socket, only the connected sockets need to be wrapped. The non-blocking handshake shouldn't be different (AFAICT) for a server SSL socket than for a client SSL socket.
