That's a reasonable approach for a typical server-side web
application, but there are other types of Python apps that can also
want to use SSL.  It's a pain to have to deal with OpenSSL at all, and
I hope that TLSLite (a very incomplete SSL implementation written in
pure Python) one day becomes complete and does all the stuff that JSSE
does.

Normally you'd do that SSLRequireSSL or SSLRequire, if that matters.
