[Python-Dev] which SSL client protocols work with which server protocols?

Here's the updated connection table:

		SSL2	SSL3	SS23	TLS1
    SSL2	yes	no	yes	no
    SSL3	yes	yes	yes	no
    SSL23	yes	no	yes	no
    TLS1	no	no	yes	yes

Given this, I think the client-side default should be changed from
SSLv23 to SSLv3, and the server-side default should be SSLv23.
