I thought about chaining, but ssl.wrap_socket(sock, A, B, C, D) is not the same as ssl.wrap_socket(ssl.wrap_socket(sock, A, B), C, D), so essentially the whole thing needs replacing anyway.

Good point on not re-patching every time we auth, but I thought that having the code close in location to where it takes effect will make it clearer to someone debugging later on, since monkeypatching is invisible unless you know it's happening.
