  I'm pretty sure that qualifies as a bug. The problem exists on linux
as well (as a fresh cvs update has shown). In general though, the
socket call should always take the two arguments.

  It seems at one point that the 2.3 version of the socket module accepted
erroneously just a socket() call, while 2.2 does not. It seems Guido
added these lines to integrate default timeout testing. If someone with
write priveleges can just fix that to read:

  s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

  that should fix the problem.
