Sounds like you'd need to make a subclass, something like

  class IMAP4_TLS(imaplib.IMAP4_SSL):
    def open(self, host="", port=IMAP4_SSL_PORT):
      self.host = host
      self.port = port
      self.sock = socket.create_connection((host, port))
      self.sslobj = ssl.wrap_socket(
        self.sock,
        self.keyfile,
        self.certfile,
        ssl_version=PROTOCOL_TLSv1,
        )
      self.file = self.sslobj.makefile('rb')

Alternatively, you could genericify it something like


  class IMAP4_TLS(imaplib.IMAP4_SSL):
    def open(self, host="",
        port=IMAP4_SSL_PORT,
        ssl_version=PROTOCOL_SSLv23,
        ):
      self.host = host
      self.port = port
      self.sock = socket.create_connection((host, port))
      self.sslobj = ssl.wrap_socket(
        self.sock,
        self.keyfile,
        self.certfile,
        ssl_version=ssl_version,
        )
      self.file = self.sslobj.makefile('rb')

and then call .open(..., ssl_version=PROTOCOL_TLSv1) or specify any
other protocol that you need.
