The socket.socketpair() fallback for Python 3.5+ is incorrectly implemented from the original source. The fallback doesn't provide a backlog argument to the lsock.listen() function call.

When running the function it gives the following error:
`TypeError: listen() takes exactly one argument (0 given)`

Issue can be seen here on line 514: 
https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3.6/Lib/socket.py

Should add 1 as the argument to listen() to bring the implementation in line with the source implementation at: https://gist.github.com/geertj/4325783

Are you using that implementation on Python 2? Python 3's socket.listen has one optional backlog argument.

Sorry for making noise, yes I was using the implementation in Python 2.x. I will do better investigation in the future.
