We used to be going indirectly through the socket module, but now we
just check for the ssl module.

Maybe we can simply remove the check since we've dropped support for
Python 2.5.

No, we're looking to see if the ssl module is importable - if it's not, that means Python was compiled without TLS support (which is an option, even on 3.x and 2.7). I'm just sniffing for this particular attribute to force the import. Maybe I should add a comment?

That's true, but I don't think we've ever had support for Python 2.6+ without
OpenSSL. Some commands would work thanks to our demandimport, but it also means
some stdlib modules (e.g. httlib) would be broken because import ssl doesn't
fail.
I think this utility function should live in sslutil.py.
