POSIX only requires socket types SOCK_STREAM, SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET to be present. SOCK_RAW is optional, as it is placed between [RS] tags in the specification:

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/sys_socket.h.html

It looks like Python's socketmodule.c does try to use it unconditionally. Comply to POSIX by only exposing it optionally, just like we do for some of the other socket types (SOCK_RDM, etc).
