I would first look at the source: "_ssl.c" (source of the Python
module interfacing with OpenSSL) near line 1636.
Likely, this only reports a problem reported by "OpenSSL".
Next step would then be to look at the "OpenSSL" documentation or
source to find out what the error reported by "OpenSSL" means.
