That's very strange, because when I run it, the interpreter shows the
following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/hugo/Downloads/test.py", line 7, in <module>
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_RAW, socket.IPPROTO_IP)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\socket.py", line 187, in __init__
    _sock = _realsocket(family, type, proto)
error: [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way
forbidden by its access permissions

Which is identical to yours, but includes a helpful message telling
you what is wrong. Did you not get that message, or did you just paste
it wrong?

In any case, Walter got you the solution.

HTH,
