When an asyncore dispatcher initiates a tcp connection, its
representation lacks the peer address. The output of the attached
script 'dispatcher_addr.py' gives on linux with Python 3.2:

call stack in handle_connect_event:
<module>->main->loop->poll->write->handle_write_event->handle_connect_event
self.addr after connection: None


The attached patch fixes the problem. The patch includes a test case.
The following comment in the patch:

    # EWOULDBLOCK may also be returned by winsock when calling connect
    # while the connection attempt is in progress

refers to the following statement in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa923167.aspx

"""
As a result, it is not recommended that applications use multiple
calls to connect to detect connection completion. If they do, they
must be prepared to handle WSAEINVAL and WSAEWOULDBLOCK error codes
the same way that they handle WSAEALREADY to ensure robust execution.
"""


Note that two consecutive calls to
socket.getsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_ERROR) are made when
handle_write_event() is called and self.connected is False: one in
handle_write_event and the following right away in
handle_connect_event. This seems useless.
