  >   No, we're looking to see if the ssl module is importable - if it's not, that means Python was compiled without TLS support (which is an option, even on 3.x and 2.7). I'm just sniffing for this particular attribute to force the import.
  
  That's true, but I don't think we've ever had support for Python 2.6+ without
  OpenSSL. Some commands would work thanks to our demandimport, but it also means
  some stdlib modules (e.g. httlib) would be broken because `import ssl` doesn't
  fail.
