If you look at socket module, there are around 29 AF_* constants (like AF_INET).

On the other hand, there is only one PF_ constant: PF_PACKET. This constant is also defined as AF_PACKET.

Following the "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." advice, Python 3 removed the <> operator.  I know it's a bit late to change things in Python 3, but should socket.PF_PACKET be removed, in favor of socket.AF_PACKET? (of course, before being removed, it would be left as deprecated for quite some time)
