I did some more investigation, run some tests and updated bug 7015.

I created bug 7085 - openssl: compile openSSL with OPENSSL_NO_SSL3 flag, this 
was needed for bug 7015. I am not sure if this should only be documented or 
should we add this flag to the default config. Disabling SSLv3 in python relies 
on defining this flag in OpenSSL.

If we upgrade Python to 2.7.9 (bug 7059) this issue will be solved in master, 
but we still need to handle this in dizzy & daisy. 

Python.org has bakported the entirety of Python 3.4's ssl module to Python 
2.7.9. I will download the source code of 2.7.9 and see if we can backport the 
changes to our version (python 2.7.3). This will however take time for me. If 
this is urgent, please assign this to someone else. (I will soon go for a long 
vacation :))

Cheers
Sona
