Looks like Python 3 files do not confirm to Python 3

It is solved by making it:
    except (ImportError) as e:

The same for:
    /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/ndg/httpsclient/subj_alt_name.py

I would not mind to solve those and others if I could contribute them
to the Python community. What is the procedure for that?
