[issue29588] importing ssl can fail with NameError: name 'PROTOCOL_TLS' is not defined

[Jeroen Demeyer]

New submission from Jeroen Demeyer:

This is a regression introduced in Python 2.7.13:

Importing the ssl module can fail with

>>> import ssl
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/jdemeyer/sage/local/lib/python/ssl.py", line 133, in <module>
    PROTOCOL_SSLv23 = PROTOCOL_TLS
NameError: name 'PROTOCOL_TLS' is not defined

While getting an ImportError from the ssl module is expected if SSL is not available (httplib for example handles that fine), a NameError is not.
