Good point - I do think it's reasonable to only require it for Python versions which don't perform hostname matching in the SSL certificates.
I believe latest 2.7 version now also perform this validation by default, but I want to avoid too much branching / too many ifs, so we should just assume only versions >= 3.4 do that. I will look into it.
