Hello, A user has already created an issue on Jira about this[1] some time ago and because the root issue is in the Python module only a warning has been added to the README.
I still personally think that the better solution would to fix the problem and subclass the HTTPSConnection class and manually check the hostname or switch to the M2Crypto library like you have suggested. Only problem with switching to the M2Crypto library is that it adds an extra dependency.
