Hello Dave,

Your patch seems very useful to me. I am currently adding PyOpenSSL to
Gajim, and I have missed some functionality as well, especially getting
the current cipher name.

By the way, if anyone is interested in that OpenSSL.SSL.Error 'first num
too large' problem: I am now treating it like a WantRead/WantWrite
exception, i.e. basically just ignoring it, which seems to work fine.
However, I don't feel good about ignoring an error which I don't
understand and for which I can find no documentation.
