4.1 Exceptions

We realized early that most of the exceptions would be raised by the I/O functions of OpenSSL, so it felt natural to mimic OpenSSL's error code system, translating them into Python exceptions. This naturally gives us the exceptions `SSL.ZeroReturnError`, `SSL.WantReadError`, `SSL.WantWriteError`, `SSL.WantX509LookupError` and `SSL.SysCallError`.
