I'm not sure how useful this is as addr will be set later, when connection is established.

I don't believe it is. dispatcher.addr is only set if the connection is immediately established. It's set explicitly in dispatcher.__init__ if a socket is provided that is already connected. It's *not* set after a connection completes.

There are 2 solutions as I see it:

1) Set addr after a successful call to socket.connect indicates that a connection is being established. Currently this only occurs if the connection is not delayed.
2) Set the addr when a connect event completes. This would require making getpeername calls like in dispatcher.__init__ and would be significantly more expensive.

My patch implements method 1. This conforms to existing addr-setting behaviour in dispatcher.bind.

I should mention that this failure to set addr is unusual seeing as most socket instances are wrapping AF_INET* domain sockets, and aren't likely to connect without blocking. This is quite likely a reason nobody has observed it until now.

It *is* desirable to save addr at this point, as mentioned in previous comments.

Additionally addr is public API insofar as asyncore.sockets are concerned.

This patch is a shoo-in, can someone review and commit this?
