And, btw. one complaint about socketmodule.c I've heard is that it doesn't have a C API, it might be necessary to expose some of it with the help of a header file.
What would you need from a C API? Socket objects currently are pretty thin wrappers around file descriptors. I'm not against this (although defining and using an external C API for a Python extension module is a bit cumbersome due to the requirement for dynamic loading), but I'd like to see the requirements first. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
