I'd be interested in integrating the two modules if no one
has tackled this yet. Seems like it would make a cool
feature.

I'm a little unclear on where you think the best integration
(and I'm a little new to the interpreter source :) ) point
would be - in the python module interface socket.py or the
lower level c interface socketmodule.c.
