Has Anybody had any luck getting "import socket" to work under win32s (forme,
WfWG 3.11 and trumpet winsock). I always get

ImportError: DLL load failed with error code 87

Not that it would do much good anyway, unless somebody has a fix to
make sock.makefile() to work. All the lib stuff (nntplib, ftplib, etc.)
rely on makefile() to map the socket to a file.

Is this package still evolving? I'd love to write something like a newsreader
or an empire client with python.

rog.
