Bug 7085

To disable SSLv3 in Python (7015), OpenSSL needs to be compiled with the OPENSSL_NO_SSL3 flag.

See https://docs.python.org/2/library/ssl.html

 ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3

    Selects SSL version 3 as the channel encryption protocol.
    This protocol is not be available if OpenSSL is compiled with the
    OPENSSL_NO_SSLv3 flag.
====================================
SSLV3 support can be disabled in openssl by adding "-no-ssl3" in the openssl recipes:

meta/recipes-connectivity/openssl/openssl_1.0.1g.bb:
EXTRA_OECONF = " -no-ssl2 -no-ssl3"

After building openssl this define is in the include/openssl/opensslconf.h:

#ifndef OPENSSL_NO_SSL3
# define OPENSSL_NO_SSL3
#endif

Openssl compiled with this define:
===================================
root@p2020rdb:~# openssl s_client -connect 173.252.120.6:443 -ssl3
unknown option -ssl3
usage: s_client args

......

It would be good to document this
