By the way, since the PEP 446, sock.type may contain the flag SOCK_CLOEXEC ;-)

Extract of test_socket.py:

        sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        self.assertEqual(sock.family, socket.AF_INET)
        if hasattr(socket, 'SOCK_CLOEXEC'):
            self.assertIn(sock.type,
                          (socket.SOCK_STREAM | socket.SOCK_CLOEXEC,
                           socket.SOCK_STREAM))
