longobject.h uses SIZEOF_SOCKET_T:

#if SIZEOF_SOCKET_T <= SIZEOF_LONG
#define PyLong_FromSocket_t(fd) PyLong_FromLong((SOCKET_T)(fd))
#define PyLong_AsSocket_t(fd) (SOCKET_T)PyLong_AsLong(fd)
#else
#define PyLong_FromSocket_t(fd) PyLong_FromLongLong(((SOCKET_T)(fd));
#define PyLong_AsSocket_t(fd) (SOCKET_T)PyLong_AsLongLong(fd)
#endif

but SIZEOF_SOCKET_T doesn't exist at that point since it is defined in Modules/socketmodule.h which isn't part of Include/Python.h. As a result, PyLong_FromSocket_t is always aliased to PyLong_FromLong, which is wrong under 64-bit Windows (a SOCKET is 64-bit there, while a long is 32-bit).

This is witnessed in MSVC warning messages such as:

2>..\Modules\socketmodule.c(1611) : warning C4244: 'function' : conversion from 'SOCKET_T' to 'long', possible loss of data

Looks like a dup of issue 4835
