Currently, the only workaround is to use transport._sock.getpeercert(True) on the Transport returned by loop.create_connection(), which is not something to be encouraged. It is useful to get such information, for example to perform a manual certificate check against a previously recorded certificate or hash.
I attached a trivial patch adding an extra 'peercert_bin' info, but I do not know if this is the right approach, as other issues of feature disparity might arise when more people try to switch to asyncio. Exposing a proxy SSLSocket object for read-only functions might be more beneficial.
