Summary: minor inconsistency in socket.close

Initial Comment:
In python 2.5 socket.close, all methods are delegated to _dummy, which raises an error.  It would be more consistent to delegate each method to its counterpart in _closedsocket; in particular re-closing a closed socket is not intended to raise:

    def close(self):
        self._sock.close()
        self._sock = _closedsocket()
        for method in _delegate_methods:
            setattr(self, method, getattr(self._sock, method))
