> newPySSLSocket() expects a char* string and use PyUnicode_Decode() to decode bytes. Yup, and this value is available as SSLSocket._sslobj.server_hostname. But SSLSocket.server_hostname is not this, it is what was passed to the constructor which can be a bytes instance. For total cleanness maybe the constructor should raise a TypeError if server_hostname is passes as a bytes.
