Description
https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man3/d2i_SSL_SESSION.html
If you want to support lower-latency handshakes upon reconnection and you have more than one TLS terminating process, you need to have an external session cache. Without wrapping these functions, there's not really any point to the Session object that pyOpenSSL exposes.

Research direction
Start with the linked OpenSSL d2i_SSL_SESSION documentation and inspect the pyOpenSSL Session object. Determine which session serialization functions need wrapping; done means the exposed Session API supports an external session cache for lower-latency reconnections across multiple TLS-terminating processes.
