[issue27629] Cannot create ssl.SSLSocket without existing socket

[nemunaire]

nemunaire added the comment:

The documentation already recommends to use SSLContext.wrap_socket(), but it didn't cover all use cases. Eg. I use multiple inheritance to handle both socket and SSLSocket inside a factory pattern, in order to override some methods defined in both classes. If I use SSLContext.wrap_socket(), it erases my overrides.

As the patch add some tests on this feature, this is no more dead code; however I let you decide the future of this issue: I've updated my patch with your remarks if you want to include it (it applies from Python 3.3 to current Python 3.6).
