This is useful, for example, when running tests as "python3 -Wa" and you bump into:

ResourceWarning: unclosed <socket object, fd=8, family=2, type=2, proto=0>

With this we'd get:

<socket.socket fd=8, family=2, type=2, proto=0, laddr=('192.168.1.2', 37537), raddr=('173.194.35.6', 80)>

If desirable, I will add some tests.

This sounds ok to me. It will indeed make things clearer in tests.

+1 from me.
Any info that can help debugging is a good thing (calling getsockname() on an non-connected socket will raise an error that will get cacthed, but there's not much we can do about it).

+1 for the idea, +1 for the need of tests.

About the patch: you may use a try/except for getsockname(), and another for getpeername().

New changeset 1410b7790de6 by Giampaolo Rodola' in branch 'default':
Fix issue #17675: make socket repr() provide local and remote addresses (if any).
http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/1410b7790de6

The new tests fail on Windows, see for example http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/AMD64%20Windows7%20SP1%203.x/builds/1763/steps/test/logs/stdio

It can be fixed on Windows by moving the `s.bind(('127.0.0.1', 0))` line above the `self.assertIn('laddr', repr(s))` line, though since the test is currently passing on the Unix buildbots, I don't know if the change would break them.
