Title:
  Support TLSv1.2 in LTS Python 2.7

Status in python2.7 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The Python 2.7.8 in Utopic contains backports for the TLSv1.1 and 1.2
  protocols in the _ssl module; however the TLSv1.1 and 1.2 is not
  usable / at least enforeacble on Python 2.7.6 as shipped with Trusty.
  Given the number of security woes lately in OpenSSL, and the
  possibility of breaches in TLSv1, it would be worthwhile to
  preemptively apply the https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0466/ to at
  least Trusty.
