Indeed, as the problem is that awsrequest.py has:

```
for name, function in AWSHTTPConnection.__dict__.items():
    if inspect.isfunction(function):
        setattr(AWSHTTPSConnection, name, function)

```

A strategic `print` in there shows that this ends up overriding `__init__`
with the version from AWSHTTPConnection, which doesn't invoke the
VerifiedHTTPSConnection constructor, and thus ssl_context is never
set. I don't know why this ever worked.

I have posted additional details and a potential fix in the upstream report.
