When SSLContext cannot be created, python raises an SSLError exception with "failed to allocate SSL context". https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/4def2a2901a5/Modules/_ssl.c#l2260 This is completely useless to debug the error. In fact many errors raised from _ssl.c are non-helpful. Python's SSLError should be extended to include comprehensive information about OpenSSL's error stack which can be extracted with `ERR_get_error_line`.
