     hi Nick,


     At the interactive python prompt i did/got the following:

	bash-2.04$ ./python 
	Python 2.4 (#1, Jan 29 2005, 10:31:35) 
	[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release)] on linux2
	Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for 
	   more information.
	>>> import socket
	>>> socket.getservbyname('daytime', 'tcp')
	13
	
	 # The 13 looks ok but look what happen 
	 # when i asked only for the service, like
	 # the line that fails in test_socket.
	
	>>> socket.getservbyname('daytime')       
	Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
	socket.error: service/proto not found
	>>>

     From my /etc/services file:

	daytime         13/tcp
	daytime         13/udp


    I was trying to use gdb to watch the function 
    socket_getservbyname, from Modules/socketmodule.c, 
    execute but i'm not sure how to set the gdb 'break' for 
    a function in a module that isn't imported at the time 
    i start python in gdb.

    Hints welcome. ;-)
