I attached a patch to http://www.python.org/sf/707074 which makes the socket
wrapper unconditional, and added a new test case (test_urllibnet.py -
requires the 'network' resource) which fails before applying the patch and
succeeds afterward.  Would someone else like to take a look at it?  Guido's
the natural candidate, but is busy with near-term conferences.

Thx,
