Within the socket module, there are various tuples that are used for different representations of a socket address. There are also other tuples returned by other functions in the socket module. 

As suggested on Python-ideas(https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2017-June/046028.html) and supported by Guido(https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2017-June/046086.html) these tuples should be made into named-tuple like sequences akin to the time tuple in the datetime module. 

I am willing to help contribute to make this happen.
