title: SSL issue with XMLRPC using Python and Wordpress
body: <p>I am attempting to use XMLRPC to post from Python to Wordpress. The website has SSL and I am getting the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SSLError: [SSL: SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE] sslv3 alert handshake failure (_ssl.c:720)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have spent almost a full day trying to resolve this, but cannot figure it out. Can anyone help?
  Thanks.</p>
