Message 269545 - Python tracker

Rather tham monkey-patching, in general I recommend just copying some
code from the asyncio library and calling that. In this case you'd be
copying a tiny bit of code from create_connection(). You'd still be
calling an internal API, _make_ssl_transport(), but your code would
still be less likely to change when some part of the asyncio library
changes than with monkey-patching. (Of course, since you pretty much
invented monkey-patching, you may feel differently. :-)
