[issue9377] socket, PEP 383: Mishandling of non-ASCII bytes in host/domain names

Originally I tried 3.2.2 (32bit), but I've just checked 3.2.3 and got the same.
A code for reproduce is simple:

from socket import gethostbyaddr
a = gethostbyaddr('127.0.0.1')

leads to:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\user\test\test.py", line 13, in <module>
    a = gethostbyaddr('127.0.0.1')
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xcf in position 5: invalid continuation byte

Or more complex sample:

def main():
    import http.server
    port = 80
    handlerClass = http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
    srv = http.server.HTTPServer(("", port), handlerClass )
    srv.serve_forever()
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Attempt of connection to the server leads to:
