I don't know how to explain exactly the problem with context creation with the ssl module. But generally speaking, Jython is known to have problems with SSL implementation, you cannot use the HTTPS protocol and theres no workaround (in Jython). Some days ago Jython 2.7.1 RC was to be releasead and is supposed to address some issues with the SSL implementation, it seems it was delayed to fix some Java 9 problems. When released, it worth a try to see if something started to work. You can get more information directly from Jython mailing lists to check exactly what is the problem with SSL in Jython and what 2.7.1 RC will start to fix.
