Hi!

I tried to use you example script to send a message via xmpp. I first ran into some errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):

self._sslobj.do_handshake()
ssl.SSLEOFError: EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:581)

Looking into that transport.py file, i figured, that this could be a SSL-version problem. My server does not allow SSLv23, because it's weak and everyone moved on to at least TLSv1. Although it seems that somewhere in transport.py ssl_version is set to ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1, in kwargs of function _initiate_starttls(self, **kwargs) it was still set to 3 (SSLv3).

Putting print(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1) near that line also returned 3 (SSLv3). I don't know why. I now resolved the issue by adding

kwargs["ssl_version"] = ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2

which actually worked (ssl_version = 5).

Could you have a look at this? Maybe it affects only my system? I'm using python2.7

Best
