Yes.
Here's an experiment (unpatched python):

Python 2.2.1 (#34, Apr  9 2002, 19:34:33) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import select
>>> select.select([], [], [], 10)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
select.error: (0, 'Error')
>>>

Patched python:

Python 2.3a0 (#29, Sep 19 2002, 12:38:34) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import select
>>> select.select([], [], [], 10)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
select.error: (10093, 'Either the application has not called WSAStartup, or WSAStartup failed')
>>> import socket
>>> select.select([], [], [], 10)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
select.error: (10022, 'An invalid argument was supplied')
>>>
