(I'm sure somewhere there is a proper place to report a bug, but I gave up after hunting for a few minutes.)

socket.py has the code

import platform kern_version = tuple(map(int, platform.release().partition('-')[0].split('.')))

Grepping for ``platform.release``, I can only find similar code in ``lib-python/3/test/support/__init__.py``. I'm not sure that's the place you mean. If it really is, then it comes straight from CPython, and the corresponding problem should be reported to CPython instead at bugs.python.org (after checking that it still exists in the latest CPython release). A bientôt, Armin.
