Well that helped the situation, I've figured out that my client does
indeed work, but my server does not. s_client ends with this error
trying to connect to the Python SSL "server":

3722:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown
protocol:s23_clnt.c:460:

This leads me to think that there might not be a way to use Python's SSL
like this to code an SSL _server_. I'll have to browse the socket module
source some more to make sure, though. Thanks for pointing out the test
server/clients though.
