The server is using SSLv2.  The traceback seems to indicate the context is
set up for SSLv3.  I can't tell how you created that context object, nor am
I certain why one version of your code can establish a connection while the
other cannot, but I would check the context object and make sure it is using
either SSLv2 or SSLv23.
