Research direction

Start with thirdparty/ws4py/websocket.py at once (line 331) and _write/send (lines 269-287), then inspect the Python 3.5 ssl traceback for the preceding SSL error. Reproduce the SSLV3_ALERT_BAD_RECORD_MAC sequence and document a confirmed cause or a tested workaround; completion should distinguish an application failure from a ws4py or SSL-library issue.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The most recent call is in SSL's write, so it's probably a library bug, but it looks like it happened after an error in once, which means we might be able to implement a workaround.

I'm not ruling out this being the fault of my application code, but the location of the the error makes me think that's not it.
