Classes: socket (Part 1)

    socket = class _socketobject(__builtin__.object)
        socket([family[, type[, proto]]]) -> socket object
        Open a socket of the given type. The family argument specifies the
        address family; it defaults to AF_INET. The type argument specifies
        whether this is a stream (SOCK_STREAM, this is the default)
        or datagram (SOCK_DGRAM) socket. The protocol argument defaults to 0,
        specifying the default protocol. Keyword arguments are accepted.
        A socket object represents one endpoint of a network connection.
        Methods of socket objects (keyword arguments not allowed):
        accept() -- accept a connection, returning new socket and client address
        bind(addr) -- bind the socket to a local address
        close() -- close the socket
        connect(addr) -- connect the socket to a remote address
        connect_ex(addr) -- connect, return an error code instead of an exception
        dup() -- return a new socket object identical to the current one [*]
        fileno() -- return underlying file descriptor
        getpeername() -- return remote address [*]
        getsockname() -- return local address
        getsockopt(level, optname[, buflen]) -- get socket options
        gettimeout() -- return timeout or None
        listen(n) -- start listening for incoming connections
        makefile([mode, [bufsize]]) -- return a file object for the socket [*]
        recv(buflen[, flags]) -- receive data
        recvfrom(buflen[, flags]) -- receive data and sender's address
        sendall(data[, flags]) -- send all data
        send(data[, flags]) -- send data, may not send all of it
        sendto(data[, flags], addr) -- send data to a given address
        setblocking(0 1) -- set or clear the blocking I/O flag
        setsockopt(level, optname, value) -- set socket options
        settimeout(None float) -- set or clear the timeout
        shutdown(how) -- shut down traffic in one or both directions
         [*] not available on all platforms!
