[New-bugs-announce] [issue24684] Type confusion in socket module

[paul]

New submission from paul:

eck(idna));
# (gdb) 
# 
# Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
# 0xb77a6d4c in __kernel_vsyscall ()
# 
# "host" argument can be set to a subclass of unicode with a custom "encode" 
# method. "encode" returns unexpected type. assert is not compiled in release
# mode, so this will lead to a type confusion later on.
