Python driver SSL only works with Python 3.2+

[danielmewes]

In Python 2.7, I'm getting

rethinkdb.errors.ReqlDriverError: Could not connect to aws-us-east-1-portal.3.dblayer.com:10575. Error: 'module' object has no attribute 'SSLContext'

when trying to connect through SSL.

The problem I think is that ssl.SSLContext was only added in Python 3.2, see https://docs.python.org/dev/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLContext

Maybe we could use backports.ssl? https://pypi.python.org/pypi/backports.ssl/0.0.7

I ran into this earlier, I think SSLContext is in 2.7.9 as well.
