It's still not entirely clear, but I'm pretty sure this thread is talking
about multiprocessing.Connection objects, which don't have anything to do
with sockets. (I think. They might use sockets internally on some
platforms.)

The only documented error from multiprocessing.Connection.recv is EOFError,
which is basically equivalent to a StopIteration.

I'm surprised that multiprocessing.Connection isn't iterable -- it seems
like an obvious oversight.
