Comment (by kaie):

 Python 3.7 will support hostname verification using its own openssl
 wrapper, see https://bugs.python.org/issue31399

 However, it might be good to add support to pyopenssl, to allow code on
 older branches to benefit from it, too.
 https://github.com/pyca/pyopenssl/issues/795 is an attempt to add such
 support.
