The preferred and simplest way to do this would be
context = py.ssl.create_default_context()
To summarize, there is no need to import anything, just call the fully
qualified py.library.function name.
Btw, the `python_cmd` function is part of the Symbolic package and is
completely unrelated to the Pythonic package (for now).
If you _really_ want to use pyeval and pyexec, this also works
pyexec('import ssl')
pyexec('context = ssl.create_default_context()')
or this
pyexec('import ssl')
context = pyeval('ssl.create_default_context()')
But I would much prefer people use the fully transparent and Matlab
compatible syntax `context = py.ssl.create_default_context()`.

Mike:
On the IRC a person asked if we could send an email from inside of octave. Matlab has a function sendmail.
So I thought about doing it from python. this next code works in python and you can do:
system('python email1a.py') and this works from inside octave
Then I tried to use pyexec and do it from inside of octave.
This is how far I have gotten -- I cant get the last 3 lines of email1a.py to work.
any help would be good.
