pyOpenSSL being LGPL'ed, I'm not sure this is possible.
On the other hand, gradually adding some of pyOpenSSL's most useful functionalities to the ssl module would be worthwhile, and I know Jean-Paul would be interested in this.
This has already begun in 3.2, but I've been alone in doing it and it would be nice if other people contributed:
