https:// does not work with Python 3.6 

When requesting a https:// url, `request` method falls into an infinite recursion. 

The issue is this method in `python/ssl.py`.

```
    @options.setter
    def options(self, value):
        super(SSLContext, SSLContext).options.__set__(self, value)
```

The commit which introduced this line to python is this https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/c32e9f9b00f7. 

The actual  error looks like this:

```

    return self.request('GET', url, **kwargs)

RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object
```

Tested using `python 3.6.0b4`.

This sounds like this is a bug in the standard library, actually: it seems like they introduced an infinite recursion when setting options directly. @tiran?

I can't reproduce the issue on my machine (Python from latest hg 3.6 branch)

```
$ ./python

>>> ctx.options |= 5
>>> class MySSLContext(ssl.SSLContext):
...     pass
... 
>>> ctx = MySSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLS)
>>> ctx.options |= 5
```

I just had a try to reproduce it from the requests end; I can’t hit it on 3.6.0b4 or 3.6.0rc1:

```console

Could it be something that’s platform or URL-specific?

(OS X 10.12.1, 16B2659, for my part)

Requests works with Python 3.6.0 from hg, too:

```
$ ./python -m venv venv
$ venv/bin/pip install requests

Ok, so right now this looks like a "can't repro" situation. Might be worth looking at your install @juokaz, seems to be misbehaving a bit.

After further debugging, I was able to reproduce it as a `gevent` issue (which was the context I was using this in).

I'm guessing I'm going to have to take it to gevent folks to have a look? Thanks for looking into this, everyone.

Yup, this is a gevent issue. I'd assume gevent doesn't yet work with Python 3.6.

The super() call looks weird but it's correct. It's the generic way to fetch the attribute descriptor of the parent class. It's a necessary evil to change a property in a subclass. Ask Google for "David Beazley subclass property" and it will show you the same, https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/python-cookbook-3rd/9781449357337/ch08s08.html

```
>>> from ssl import SSLContext
>>> super(SSLContext, SSLContext).options
<attribute 'options' of '_ssl._SSLContext' objects>
>>> import _ssl
>>> super(SSLContext, SSLContext).options is _ssl._SSLContext.options
True
```

The call ```super(SSLContext, SSLContext).options.__set__(self, value)``` is the same as setting options on an instance of the parent class.


Here's the reference to the gevent ticket for the same issue: https://github.com/gevent/gevent/issues/903
Gevent has now been bumped to >1.2 by default.  If you're still having this issue, it can be fixed with a simple `pip install --upgrade gevent`.

@pirate that doesn't fix the issue for me. Any other ideas? The other thread is locked.

@AeroNotix please don't use this issue or this project's tracker to discuss gevent problems.

@pirate can you unlock that ticket, then? I'm still having the same issue on python 3.6 with upgraded versions of everything.

Nope @AeroNotix , I'm not a contributor on either project, perhaps you can email/irc one of the people in the other thread directly?

@pirata This issue still exists with `python 3.6.1`, `gevent 1.2.1`, `requests 2.13.0`. Steps to reproduce:

```python
import requests
import gevent.monkey
gevent.monkey.patch_ssl()
requests.get("https://google.com")
```

If I import `requests` after the patch, everything works. It used to be the case that it won't matter and I'm wondering if something can be changed to keep the old behavior. What do you think @Lukasa ?

Requests has some problems with gevent and monkey patching because it performs feature detection on the select module at import time. A future release will bring it up to date with a newer urllib3 that contains fixes for this problem, but in the meantime gevent's monkey patch should be applied before importing requests. 



@Lukasa are you referring to [this release](https://github.com/requests/requests/blob/master/HISTORY.rst#2182-2017-07-25)?
