It seems that SSLSocket.close() doesn't actually close the socket, and that's why the server side read() blocks.
It's a bit of a mystery to me how socket.close(), which is called by SSLSocket to do the actual close, is supposed to work. I don't see any calls to _sock.close() in there..
If I add the following 3 lines to socket.py then it works (but there's a few unexpected EOF errors in return).

I'm probably overlooking something b/c I can't imagine socket.close() being a no-op.
