Ooops, thanks for reporting. This is an embarassing one. Rather than
using globals() (as would be the correct fix), I have removed the
superfluous ssl check completely. We now rely on python2.6 and import
ssl unconditionally in any case now.

I checked in the fix as commit 895e709bf23eea3b8f546f240317580e34251cf3
into the 'next' branch, so it will be part of the next release.

Again, thanks for reporting.

P.S. I tested that cert_fingerprint is actually required and used now.
