Note that I'm specifically asking about the *features* mentioned in PEP 466 (and any future additions), i.e. the new functions in the hmac and hashlib modules and the backported ssl module, not any security issues in existing functionality."

I'm afraid I can't really answer your question. Though there is a more general issue on upgrading to 2.7.9 (see bug 1401322), that doesn't touch upon the functionality in the PEP you mention specificially. So I'm not sure if it would be right to mark this as a duplicate of that bug report. I've taken the liberty to update the title of this one though.
