I know both Cory Benfield and Christian Heimes brought this up briefly at the PyCon US 2016 language summit at the end of their SSL discussion, but I don't think it went anywhere because there was some other discussion that dominated the end of their talk (I've now tweeted at them about this discussion).
I know Steve has also said he would love to see a agnostic TLS library so that Windows' built-in libraries for this stuff could be directly used. With the predicament this is going to put us in I think it makes it very prudent to create a tls module for the stdlib.
