+
+   Read up to *len* bytes of data from the SSL socket and return the result as
+   a ``bytes`` instance. If *buffer* is specified, then read into the buffer
+   instead, and return the number of bytes read.
+
+   Raise :exc:`SSLWantReadError` or :exc:`SSLWantWriteError` if the socket is

+
+   As at any time a re-negotiation is possible, a call to :meth:`read` can also
+   cause write operations.
+
+.. method:: SSLSocket.write(buf)
+
+   Write *buf* to the SSL socket and return the number of bytes written. The
+   *buf* argument must be an object supporting the buffer interface.
+
+   Raise :exc:`SSLWantReadError` or :exc:`SSLWantWriteError` if the socket is

+
+   The :meth:`~SSLSocket.read` and :meth:`~SSLSocket.write` methods are the
+   low-level methods that read and write unencrypted, application-level data
+   and and decrypt/encrypt it to encrypted, wire-level data. These methods
+   require an active SSL connection, i.e. the handshake was completed and
+   :meth:`SSLSocket.unwrap` was not called.
+
+   Normally you should use the socket API methods like
+   :meth:`~socket.socket.recv` and :meth:`~socket.socket.send` instead of these
+   methods.
