[New-bugs-announce] [issue33023] Unable to copy ssl.SSLContext

[Vitaly Kruglikov]

New submission from Vitaly Kruglikov <vitaly.krug at gmail.com>:

```
import copy
import ssl

copy.copy(ssl.create_default_context())
```
results in 

`TypeError: can't pickle SSLContext objects`

This prevents me from being able to `copy.deepcopy()` an object that references `ssl.SSLContext`.

The apparent root cause is apparently that `ssl.SSLContext` passes an extra arg to its `__new__` method, but doesn't implement the method `__getnewargs__` that would let `copy` extract the extra arg.
