[Bug 1166344] [NEW] Raring Python 2.7 backports ssl.match_hostname but not ssl.CertificateError

[Ben Gamari]

Public bug reported:

The ssl module provided by Raring's Python 2.7 exports match_hostname
(backported from Python 3.3) but does not export CertificateError. This
causes at least one (https://github.com/facebook/tornado/pull/704)
package to fail.

** Affects: python2.7 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
