[Python-Dev] Now test_socket fails

[Tim Peters]

What's socket.socket() supposed to do without any arguments?  Can't work on
Windows, because socket.py has

if (sys.platform.lower().startswith("win")
    or (hasattr(os, 'uname') and os.uname()[0] == "BeOS")
    or sys.platform=="riscos"):

    _realsocketcall = _socket.socket

    def socket(family, type, proto=0):
        return _socketobject(_realsocketcall(family, type, proto))
