PortalPy needs to be updated to use the newer python modules (2.7.9) that do not use SSLv3.

Python Release 2.7.9:
SLv3 has been disabled by default in httplib and its reverse dependencies due to the POODLE attack.

ArcGIS Server and Portal for ArcGIS have already been upgraded to prevent issues due to the POODLE attack. The python libraries included in PortalPy include individual affected http modules. All micro releases of python (e.g. 2.7.8, 2.7.9) in a minor release line will be binary compatible and will just work if swapped in.

Since portalpy doesn't bundle a specific version of python (or any of the affected modules), isn't this more simply a matter of adding a note recommending the usage of 2.7.9+ in the readme?
