Whoever maintains your distros python needs to realize that backporting only some changes from 2.7.9 to 2.7.8 is a bad idea. Either upgrade to 2.7.9 or dont. They have apparently backported the changes to the ssl module, but not the corresponding changes to the httplib module. Sigh.
I really, really wish linux distros would just stop messing with upstream packages, they simply dont have the resources for it.
