It's not correct. There were some bugs in IDNA support in the SSL
module. Nathaniel and I worked on the topic and fixed it in 3.7, see
https://bugs.python.org/issue28414
Python stdlib in general does not support some non-ASCII domain names
(German, Greek, and some Asian languages), because there is no IDNA 2008
encoding in the stdlib. The problem is not in the SSL module, but starts
as low as host name encoding for DNS lookups. The solution here is to
*add* more features to the stdlib, see
https://bugs.python.org/issue17305
By the way, I'm working on removing some dead battieres since last year,
see proto PEP
https://github.com/tiran/peps/blob/oldbatteries/pep-9999.rst and LWN
