Works fine if you use requests, or any other HTTP library which hasn't been left to rot like the one in the 2.x stdlib.

Out of the box, requests on Python2.7 doesn't support SNI.

It is documented, and all you have to do is install additional packages to enable it, but still, that's not automatic.
