Ok.  Your (python team) call, of course.  The patch is fairly trivial and
worthwhile, so it could help people.

I know there are a lot of python2 users still out there (despite the upstream
status).  I'm not saying that's good or bad, just that "it is".  I confess, I
still use it for scripts that haven't been ported or have not been gotten much
testing under py3 yet.  I appreciate that the ports team allowed py27 to still
exist (thankfully, it hasn't been a huge burden, I think). That friendly
treatment been very useful to end users in my circle.  It can be frustrating to
get hit with aggressive deprecation action when there are old (and reliable)
systems in production.

I did test that openssl32 works fine with the python27 port.  Specifically I
hard coded the proper ssl version in setup.py, built python27 based on that and
did some basic hashlib testing successfully - so that's good news.

Anyway... hopefully the patch will help some people who can apply it locally.
