Sockets stopped connecting with SNI-related error (python2.7)

[Tectract]

Running the websocket client test code from the readme, I'm getting a SNI-related connection error now. It seems that Coinbase has enabled SNI on their servers and python2.7 clients may not be able to connect anymore. This problem is REALLY hard to troubleshoot for python2.7.6 users! I'm sort of locked to an OS that runs on python2.7 for the moment so I need to get around this somehow.

How can I write a simple tool that will run under python3 here, just connect to a websocket print out the lines to the command-line? Can anyone help?

For reference the error I'm seeing under python2.7.6 now is this:

relevant issue in ws4py implementation of websockets, which I also debugged for ws-feed.pro.coinbase.com websocket connection.
