I'm running pywikibot with Python 2.7.10, PyOpenSSL 0.15.1 and OpenSSL 1.0.2g and I'm getting an error when trying to save large pages (such as the ro.wp Village Pump, that has ~hundreds of KB:
ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):

Error: [('SSL routines', 'ssl3_write_pending', 'bad write retry')]By reading this discussion, I get the idea that the issue stems from PyOpenSSL, but it seems that it appears only in conjunction with some other bad practice of the http API. Namely, they suggest that the POST data should not contain UTF-8 strings, but rather a byte representation of it. Is it anything that can be done at this level?
